Surgical Therapies for Vitiligo

Four compartment method as an efficacious and simplified technique for autologous non‐cultured epidermal cell suspension preparation in vitiligo surgery: A randomized, active‐controlled study

“…Non‐utilization of quantitative measures for the assessment of repigmentation is another limitation. However, since almost all previous studies also expressed their repigmentation outcome based on visual analysis, the results of this study are directly comparable …”

“…However, since almost all previous studies also expressed their repigmentation outcome based on visual analysis, the results of this study are directly comparable. 19 In summary, we have demonstrated that 4C method is an efficacious and safe method of preparing NCES. The study has demonstrated that the repigmentation outcome with 4C method is comparable to that of conventional lab-NCES.…”

Comparison of microneedling and full surface erbium laser dermabrasion for autologous cell suspension grafting in nonsegmental vitiligo: a randomized controlled trial

“…D ear E ditor, Autologous cell suspension is a well‐demonstrated effective approach for treating segmental or stable and localized forms of vitiligo . Full surface dermabrasion is considered to be the gold standard technique for preparing the skin before grafting.…”

“…DOI: 10.1111/bjd.17464 DEAR EDITOR, Autologous cell suspension is a well-demonstrated effective approach for treating segmental or stable and localized forms of vitiligo. 1 Full surface dermabrasion is considered to be the gold standard technique for preparing the skin before grafting. Fractional ablative laser or microneedling have been shown to enhance the penetration of topical agents into the skin.…”

Comparison of efficacy of cold trypsinization versus warm trypsinization in preparation of autologous non‐cultured epidermal cell suspension for treatment of stable vitiligo

“…5 Repigmentation patterns were defined as perifollicular, diffuse and marginal. 6 Colour match of repigmentation was also assessed and categorized as same, lighter or darker colour than surrounding skin.…”
