The hair transplant surgery is performed by two accepted methods, namely the FUT hair transplant and the FUE hair transplant technique. Choosing the technique in the restoration procedure is all about surgeon’s concern as it is decided by the patient’s state of baldness, the donor area stability concern, the recipient areas’ need as well as the type of hair and scalp to receive the surgical restoration. The surgical restoration in foreign nations is much popular due to the application of advanced method and technique to perform the surgical restoration, especially in the concern for adopting the cutting-edge technology to perform the surgical restoration. The hair transplant technique performed by the Indian clinic and surgeon also has a huge demand in the market as the procedure is performed by the expert surgeons and Doctors. Nowadays, hair transplant in Canada is getting popular due to the employment of the most advanced technology to perform the extraction process, i.e., the ARTAS robotic that facilitates the extraction process when the employed technique is the FUE hair transplants. Therefore, the hair transplant cost in Canada is very high and influences only creamy layered clients/patients to receive the restoration procedure done in Canada.
What is the ARTAS Robotic Technique?
Before understanding the ARTAS robotic, it is important to understand what is the FUE hair transplant t technique? When is the hair transplant procedure done by the manual or robotic punching process to extract the needed number of grafts, it is termed as the FUE hair transplants. The ARTAS robotic is advancement in the extraction process and when the extraction task is done by the ARTAS robotic extract the grafts from the donor areas of the scalp. The ARTAS robotic is a computerized technique to extract the graft in such a fashion that facilitates the speedy extraction and thus a surgeon gets able to extract a maximum number of grafts in a single time. The ARTAS robotic system is the most advanced form of the hair root extraction that aids the surgeon in the technique of FUE extraction. The ARTAS robotic system helps in obtaining the accuracy and consistency in the hair root extraction that further helps in achieving the best survival rate of grafts in the FUE method. The ARTAS robotic technique was developed by the research engineers at restoration robotics, California. It is an FDA-approved robotic extraction process since 2011.
How does the ARTAS robot work?
Firstly, the patient is anaesthetized to initiate the procedure of hair restoration and then a device, named tensioner is applied to the patient’s scalp with traction to stretch the scalp. The tensioner has a series of dots called fiducials that receive the robotic optical system instruction and uses robotic art and cutting tool. The robotic method helps in obtaining the grafts via the FUE method and also tries to extend the strength of the graft extraction. But, after all the procedure success depends on the surgeon’s performance and the skill to perform the procedure.
Parameters for Graft Extraction:
The graft extraction process through the ARTAS robotic is needed to be performed by the expert surgeons who are much familiar with the employment of the advanced and modern technology to perform the extraction process. At the time of harvesting surgeon programs various parameters into the computer to guide the surgical procedure. The important parameters that is needed to be considered while performing the ARTAS robotic technique is the needle diameter, inter-site spacing, and follicular unit graft selection.
The ARTAS robotic enters into the scalp and manage the depth, angle, direction, and the speed of the rotation in order to extract the grafts. Thus, the overall procedure helps in performing the best extraction task in the hair transplant procedure.
Challenges in the ARTAS robotic:
Even though the ARTAS robot helps in the process of hair root extraction, but the overall success of the procedure is all surgeon’s dependent. The surgeon must be a proficient one in performing the surgical restoration whose skills, perfection, understanding, judgmental ability, and speculation sense helps in meeting the desired restoration goal of the surgery. There might be a possibility of graft damaging despite using the computerized method, hence, the received outcomes are lesser compatible to cover the respective balding areas of the scalp. Thus, it is always needed to choose only the brilliant surgeon to receive the procedure. On the other hand, it is a costly method that limited its reach to the restoration fraternity.
