Using the Restroom During the Hair Transplant Procedure

Hi Dr Rassman,

I am a male and recently discovered i have interstitial cystitis. Am using minoxidil but cannot take finasteride anymore. So my questions is the following: During a HT session and when one is awake is it possible to do the procedure on someone who would have to use the restroom or are there ways to work around it?

Our patients have a private restroom available to them right outside the operating room next to where the transplant is done. Getting up during the surgery to use the facilities (as long as you let us know and don’t just jump up from the chair) is not a problem.
