title: Punch grafting the crown and vertex.
abstract: Several different methods exist for surgical hair replacement of the vertex region of the scalp. Despite the more recent addition of alopecia reduction and flaps, small areas of crown baldness frequently, can best be handled cosmetically by well-planned and technically well-executed punch autografts. The methodology of hair transplantation of the vertex region of the scalp and the avoidance of cosmetic problems are discussed.
