“…Repigmentation is greater in patients treated with chemophototherapy plus STSG versus punch grafts (PGs), with repigmentation rates of more than 75% in 83% of patients with STSGs versus 44.1% with PGs. 146 This procedure, however, requires the use of anesthesia and can leave harvest sites cosmetically unpleasing, whereas the BG can be performed in the office and the donor site is often left unscathed.…”

“…These two techniques were compared by Khandpur et al 23 Sixty-four patients with stable vitiligo were randomized into two groups. Thirty-four patients were in the PG group requiring 644 grafts being placed on a total vitiliginous area of 521Á25 cm 2 , whereas 30 patients were in the STSG group requiring 153 grafts to cover 1489 cm 2 of vitiliginous skin.…”

SummaryBackground Vitiligo is a disfiguring disease, characterized frequently by the presence of de-pigmented macules and/or patches. Traditional therapies are essentially medical and are most preferred by dermatologists. Surgical therapies, however, are amongst the most effective interventions for vitiligo but are limited by their invasive nature, as well as the training and expertise needed to perform specific procedures. Objectives To assess the evidence for the effectiveness, safety and applicability of the various surgical methods in the treatment of vitiligo. Methods For this systematic review of vitiligo surgical therapies, our searches included: PubMed, MEDLINE and Cochrane databases. Results We reviewed research studies reporting on split thickness skin grafts (STSG), punch/mini-graft, blister roof grafting, cultured and non-cultured cellular transplantation (MKTP). While all methods vary in their repigmentation outcomes, STSG is found to have the highest repigmentation success rate. Overall, post-operative complications included milia, scarring, cobblestone appearance or hyperpigmentation of treated areas. Conclusion This review highlights the need for more randomized controlled trials in this field, underpinned by a more standardized objective approach to the assessment of repigmentation following surgical interventions.

“…Compared to the suction blister grafting ultra thin epidermal skin grafting can cover a larger surface area. Ozdemir et al, (9) demonstrated a higher percent of repigmentation with this ulta thin (10) as compared to mini punch grafting this technique produces far more cosmetically superior results and matching over larger areas. In our opinion, the ultrathin skin graft technique is found to be simple, economical, less time consuming with good cosmetic appearence.…”

Ultrathin epidermal skin grafting is the simplest aesthetic procedure for stable vitiligo. Various surgical procedures such as miniature Punch Grafting, Suction blister grafting, Mash technique etc are available for covering stable vitiligenous depigmented area. This article reviews about the relatively easy and new technique in treating stable Vitiligo. Ultra thin epidermal skin grafting involves transfer of a very thin layer of skin including epidermis to achieve transfer of melanocytes from donor graft to the underlying dermabraded vitiligenous recipient area.

Comparison of Minipunch Grafting versus Split-Skin Grafting in Chronic Stable Vitiligo

Abstract: 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.
