Abstract:
While various treatment options exist for vitiligo, surgical interventions have gained significant attention due to their potential for long-lasting repigmentation. Several surgical procedures have been developed, including miniature punch grafting, thin Theirsch's split-thickness skin grafting (STSG), suction blister technique, and ultrathin STSG. The decision-making process should also consider the potential risks and benefits associated with each technique. Factors such as graft survival, color match, post-operative complications, and long-term stability of repigmentation should be evaluated. In addition, patient factors such as comorbidities, skin type, and psychological impact should be carefully considered to ensure optimal surgical outcomes. We, hereby, aim to explore the potential execution of vitiligo surgery using the most conceivable technique, considering factors such as efficacy, safety, and patient-specific characteristics.
