Abstract:
Identifying tumors or wounds on the scalp is difficult because hair blocks the vision during surgery and suturing. In the meantime, we have commonly used hairpins to hold the hair for a clearer view; however, we would like to suggest a new method, a "hair-fixing sheet," consisting of hook-like surface. We applied the two methods, hair-fixing sheets and hairpins, assuming several situations. In these situations, it was possible to fix a wider range or various shapes more conveniently using a hair-fixing sheet than using several hairpins at a similarly low cost. In addition, it was easy to change the hair to be fixed, remove it postoperatively, and prevent the hair from being pulled out, thereby preventing additional postoperative pain.
