[Surgical treatment of baldness. 20 years' experience]

After giving an introduction on the surgical treatment of alopecia in the last years, we talk about our experience with more than 2,500 patients. We discussed in individual chapters each one of the four major methods for the surgical management of male pattern alopecia: punch grafts, strip grafts, scalp reduction, flaps and combined techniques. In general more than the half of those patients have been seen and controlled for long time, because the most of them have continued with the clinic treatment in correspondence with the skin-hair pathology.
