Surgical management of vitiligo is considered an excellent terapeutic option for
recalcitrant cases, provided the disease is stable and there is absence of
Koebner phenomenom. Among surgical modalities, Suction Blister Epidermal Graft
is a low cost and effective option (65 to 100% repigmentation can be achieved in
up to 80% of patients). We describe how it can be optimized by using an
alternative suction equipment, by customization of graft format and by
application of an anesthetic technique that substantially reduces procedure
time.
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.
