September 2024 in “Aesthetic Plastic Surgery” This bibliometric review evaluates 260 significant publications in hair transplantation, focusing on the 50 most cited, which were cited a total of 1,341 times. It highlights the contributions of influential authors like Bernstein and Rassman and the evolution of techniques such as Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) and Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE). The United States, particularly institutions like Cornell and Columbia University, leads in impactful research. Despite advancements, there is a lack of high-level evidence, with only 10% of top articles providing Level II evidence and none offering Level I. The review underscores the importance of FUE and suggests it will remain a focal point in future research, while emphasizing the need for more high-level evidence-based studies.
