The recipient site creation process is an art and ultimately decides the impact of the result. The process of slit making is described in two terms: the sequence of slit making and the orientation of slits. In terms of sequence, slits are described as premade and “stick and place.” In terms of slit orientation, they are described as sagittal and coronal.1,2 These terms are primarily used in describing the orientation and only occasionally, and often parenthetically, are parallel and perpendicular used. It is our contention that in terms of what is practically done, the terms sagittal and coronal are often inaccurate. We propose that the terms parallel and perpendicular are more explanatory of the orientation and should be primarily used in communicating slit orientation. A sagittal plane is defined as one that divides the body into left and right sections. A coronal plane is one that divides the body into a dorsal (back) and ventral (front) section. If these definitions are strictly followed in the process of slit making, all sagittal slits would have hairs directed straight anteriorly with no angulation to the left or right. All coronal slits would have hairs directed left or right with no angulation to the front or back (Figure 1). However, as we know, this is not how slits are usually made. Slits are typically made in orientation to the existing hair pattern. Sagittal slits are usually made parallel to the hair direction, with the result that these so-called “sagittal” slits actually end up becoming almost coronal laterally in the temporal peak. Coronal slits are usually made perpendicular to the hair direction, and these slits become near sagittal in the temporal region. These definitions thus hold true only in the center of the scalp. These definitions become even more problematic and untenable when it comes to the vertex, where they are made in a circular manner following the whorl pattern of the hairs. Hence, the current description is inaccurate in many areas of the scalp, and we would like to propose the use of nomenclature that we believe more accurately depicts what is routinely followed in practice. What is commonly called “sagittal” actually refers to slits that are made parallel to the direction of the hair. Hence, we believe these slits should be called PARALLEL slits. What is commonly called “coronal” actually refers to slits that are made perpendicular to the direction of the hair. Hence, we believe these slits should be called PERPENDICULAR slits (Figure 2). There are important implications of the nomenclature. First, this nomenclature places emphasis on the orientation of the slit with regard to the direction of the hair being implanted. Hence, a parallel or perpendicular slit can be made in any direction: frontal, back, left, or right. This nomenclature, therefore, holds its meaning in all areas, even in the temporal and vertex regions. While we initially believed we were the first to coin this term, we found an earlier paper by Jerry Wong in 2002 suggesting the use of the term perpendicular slits in the temporal region. The author stated: “Although it is labeled coronal incisions, it is actually the direction of hair flow that determines the incisional plane. Because the incisional plane is always 90° to the directional of hair flow, perpendicular incisions may be a more accurate description.”3 However, this term did not gain popularity as this paper was focused on comparing slits in the temporal region only and did not lay out the logical fallacy of these terms completely. Since then, the terms parallel and perpendicular have been used but usually secondarily and often in parenthesis behind the primary terms being used, sagittal and coronal. Second, as a parallel slit is along the hair direction, the length of the slit at the surface increases as the angle of the hair decreases. However, when the slit is perpendicular to the hair direction, the length at the surface of the slit does not change with angulation. This allows smaller size of slits, more dense packing, and less popping. This concept has been described before with mathematical elucidation.4,5 To summarise, the terms parallel and perpendicular are more explanatory of the slit arrangement and direction in all scalp locations and should replace the existing terms sagittal and coronal.

摘要

缝的形成是头发移植中最重要的步骤之一。收件人网站的创建过程是一门艺术,最终决定了结果的影响。缝的形成过程从缝的顺序和缝的方向两个方面进行了描述。在顺序方面,裂缝被描述为预制和“粘和位置”。根据狭缝的方向,它们被描述为矢状和冠状。这些术语主要用于描述方向,只是偶尔,通常附带说明,平行和垂直使用。这是我们的论点,在实际做了什么,术语矢状和冠状往往是不准确的。我们认为平行和垂直这两个术语更能解释取向,应该主要用于描述狭缝取向。矢状面被定义为将身体分成左右两部分的平面。冠状面将身体分为背侧(背部)和腹侧(前部)。如果在狭缝的形成过程中严格遵循这些定义,那么所有矢状狭缝的毛都将在前面直着,没有向左或向右的角度。所有冠状切口的毛发都是向左或向右的,没有正面或背面的角度(图1)。然而,正如我们所知,这不是通常的切口。裂缝通常是在现有的发型方向上制造的。矢状裂口通常与头发方向平行,结果这些所谓的“矢状”裂口实际上在颞峰的侧面几乎是冠状的。冠状切口通常垂直于头发方向,这些切口在颞区接近矢状。因此,这些定义只适用于头皮的中心。当涉及到顶点时,这些定义变得更加有问题和站不住脚,在顶点,它们以遵循头发的轮状图案的圆形方式制作。因此,目前对头皮的许多区域的描述是不准确的,我们想建议使用我们认为更准确地描述实践中常规遵循的命名法。通常所说的“矢状”实际上是指与头发方向平行的裂缝。因此,我们认为这些狭缝应该被称为平行狭缝。通常所说的“冠状”实际上指的是垂直于头发方向的缝隙。因此,我们认为这些狭缝应该被称为垂直狭缝(图2)。命名法有重要的含义。首先,这种命名法强调了与被植入毛发的方向相关的狭缝的方向。因此,一个平行或垂直的狭缝可以在任何方向:正面、背面、左边或右边。因此,这个命名法适用于所有区域,甚至是时间和顶点区域。虽然我们最初认为我们是第一个创造这个术语的人,但我们发现杰瑞·王在2002年的一篇更早的论文中建议使用“颞区垂直狭缝”这个术语。作者说:“虽然它被标记为冠状切口,但实际上是头发流动的方向决定了切口平面。由于切口平面始终与头发流动方向呈90°,因此垂直切口可能是更准确的描述。3然而,这个术语并没有得到普及,因为这篇论文只关注于比较颞叶区域的裂缝,并没有完全列出这些术语的逻辑谬误。从那时起,平行和垂直这两个术语就被使用了,但通常是次要的,通常是在主要术语矢状面和冠状面后面的括号里。其次,由于沿头发方向有一条平行的狭缝,表面狭缝的长度随着头发角度的减小而增加。然而,当狭缝垂直于头发方向时,狭缝表面的长度不随成角而变化。这允许更小的狭缝尺寸,更密集的包装,更少的爆裂。这个概念以前已经用数学解释过了。4,5总之,术语平行和垂直更能解释头皮所有部位的狭缝排列和方向,应该取代现有的矢状和冠状。我们希望这封信能引发对话,并有助于纠正长期以来在头发移植术语中的用词不当。我们也希望采用新的术语,以确保准确的解剖描述和狭缝制作过程的报告。图1所示。矢状和冠状切口图2。平行和垂直的狭缝

Slit creation is one of the most important steps in a hair transplant. The recipient site creation process is an art and ultimately decides the impact of the result. The process of slit making is described in two terms: the sequence of slit making and the orientation of slits. In terms of sequence, slits are described as premade and “stick and place.” In terms of slit orientation, they are described as sagittal and coronal.1,2 These terms are primarily used in describing the orientation and only occasionally, and often parenthetically, are parallel and perpendicular used. It is our contention that in terms of what is practically done, the terms sagittal and coronal are often inaccurate. We propose that the terms parallel and perpendicular are more explanatory of the orientation and should be primarily used in communicating slit orientation. A sagittal plane is defined as one that divides the body into left and right sections. A coronal plane is one that divides the body into a dorsal (back) and ventral (front) section. If these definitions are strictly followed in the process of slit making, all sagittal slits would have hairs directed straight anteriorly with no angulation to the left or right. All coronal slits would have hairs directed left or right with no angulation to the front or back (Figure 1). However, as we know, this is not how slits are usually made. Slits are typically made in orientation to the existing hair pattern. Sagittal slits are usually made parallel to the hair direction, with the result that these so-called “sagittal” slits actually end up becoming almost coronal laterally in the temporal peak. Coronal slits are usually made perpendicular to the hair direction, and these slits become near sagittal in the temporal region. These definitions thus hold true only in the center of the scalp. These definitions become even more problematic and untenable when it comes to the vertex, where they are made in a circular manner following the whorl pattern of the hairs. Hence, the current description is inaccurate in many areas of the scalp, and we would like to propose the use of nomenclature that we believe more accurately depicts what is routinely followed in practice. What is commonly called “sagittal” actually refers to slits that are made parallel to the direction of the hair. Hence, we believe these slits should be called PARALLEL slits. What is commonly called “coronal” actually refers to slits that are made perpendicular to the direction of the hair. Hence, we believe these slits should be called PERPENDICULAR slits (Figure 2). There are important implications of the nomenclature. First, this nomenclature places emphasis on the orientation of the slit with regard to the direction of the hair being implanted. Hence, a parallel or perpendicular slit can be made in any direction: frontal, back, left, or right. This nomenclature, therefore, holds its meaning in all areas, even in the temporal and vertex regions. While we initially believed we were the first to coin this term, we found an earlier paper by Jerry Wong in 2002 suggesting the use of the term perpendicular slits in the temporal region. The author stated: “Although it is labeled coronal incisions, it is actually the direction of hair flow that determines the incisional plane.

This allows smaller size of slits, more dense packing, and less popping. This concept has been described before with mathematical elucidation.4,5 To summarise, the terms parallel and perpendicular are more explanatory of the slit arrangement and direction in all scalp locations and should replace the existing terms sagittal and coronal. We hope that this letter sparks conversation and helps correct longstanding misnomers in hair transplant terminology. We also hope the new terminology is adopted to ensure accurate anatomical description and reporting of the slit-making process. FIGURE 1. Sagittal and coronal slits FIGURE 2.
