Abstract
111 patients (tuberous 109 and neural 2) admitted in National Leprosarium Oshima Seishoen were received eyebrowplastic operation.
1) 110 patients received autohairtransplantation presented favorable results in all cases. In 1 case the hairs were transplanted upon the hyposthetic part, in which sensibility was recovered after a year.
2) Homohairtransplantation carried out upon 5 patients failed in all cases.
3) On pedinculated autoplantation, one case was succeeded and the other one underwent necrosis and scarformation. The latter case received autohairtransplantation with success. In short, hairtransplantation produced favorable results upon the lesion of alopecia leprosa, as well as upon the normal.
Eyebrowplastic operation on leprosy patients is the most adequate treatment not only in the function but also in the cosmetic view, so as to ameliorate the mental agonies.
