BACKGROUND. Minipunch grafting (MPG) and split-skin grafting (SSG) are common outpatient procedures for the surgical treatment of chronic stable vitiligo. However, there is a paucity of literature comparing the two procedures by the same group of investigators.
SSG carries a distinct advantage over MPG in producing excellent cosmetic matching over larger areas using fewer grafts, especially over the face and extremities.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
