Vitiligo Surgeries

Vitiligo is a very distressing skin condition with severe psychological impact on the affected individual. There are situations when the treating doctor have to interfere surgically to correct the colour issues. There are various surgeries undertaken here and ours is a referral centre for vitiligo surgery for patients from within and outside the state. The concept vitiligo surgery is to donate or introduce normal functional melanocytes to the depigmented skin. The advantage is that these procedures do not call for an admission and can be done on OP basis. The major surgical procedures undertaken here are

• Mini punch Grafting [MPEG]
• Suction Blister grafting Epidermal Grafting (SBEG)
• Non CulturedEpidermal Cell suspension (NCES / Melanocyte Transfer) Cosmetic result achieved is excellent if done at the right time for the right patient and relatively large areas can be treated in a single session and with smaller area of donor graft.
