Standards framework
Nursing Standards
Nursing professionals are essential to safe, efficient hair restoration surgery. IIOHR nursing standards define peri-operative care, patient management, and team coordination expectations across certified clinical environments.
Institutional position
Nursing Discipline Is Surgical Infrastructure.
Hair restoration surgery depends on skilled peri-operative support. Without nursing standards, team performance varies and patient safety gaps emerge between the surgeon and the recovery pathway.
