Abstract
- Vitiligo is a common aquired progressive leukoderma. Various procedures have been employed for those patients not responsive to medical therapy. Split-thickness skin grafting(STSG) has been used for the treatment of vitiligo for over three decades, but it did not gain popularity as it had some postoperative complications. We employed improved methods to three selected stable, nonprogressive vitiligo patients, And we evaluated its effectiveness, complications. All patients showed good attachment and repigmentation. Observed complications were uneven surface and hyperpigmentation of recipient site and milium on donor site. This method can be an the alternative treatment for patients with stable type of vitiligo.
