Autologous Epidermal Grafting Using a Novel Negative Pressure Epidermal Harvesting System in a Case of Stable Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a common pigmentary disorder of the skin with a great amount of social stigma attached to it. Though various medical modalities are available for the treatment of stable vitiligo, surgical modality remains the treatment of choice for stable and localized vitiligo. The surgical options range from simple punch grafting to the recent epidermal harvesting methods using a negative pressu...

Fibrin Glue Fixation for Suction Blister Epidermal Grafting in Two Patients with Stable Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a chronic disorder characterized by depigmented macules which can slowly enlarge with the concurrent development of new lesions. Although autologous suction blister epidermal grafting is an established technique for the treatment of recalcitrant, stable vitiligo, the donor tissue graft is not easy to fix at the recipient site, especially in areas such as the joints, face, cutaneous ...

Recipient site preparation for epidermal graft in stable vitiligo by a special fraise*

BACKGROUND The only approach used in the refractory lesions of stable vitiligo is the surgical supply of melanocytes. Suction Blistering Epidermal Graft is one of the most common and effective techniques. There are multiple modalities, including the motor-driven diamond fraise, for the preparation of recipient sites in suction blistering epidermal graft with different repigmentation rates and c...

Efficacy of Miniature Punch Grafting Followed By Puvasol Therapy in Refractory Stable Vitiligo

Vitiligo affects approximately 2% of the worldwide population regardless of race, ethnic background or gender. When the medical methods are not successful, surgical procedures may be considered with the aim of placing a new source of pigment cells to reinitiate melanogenesis within the affected areas. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of combining punch grafting followed by PUVA...
