VITILIGO/LEUCODERMA SURGERY

What is it?

Leucoderma is a condition characterised by loss of skin pigment caused by factors like vitiligo, chemical exposure, trauma, or post-burn injuries.

When to consider it?

Surgery is an option when the condition is stable, with no new lesions or expansion of existing ones for a recommended period.

Pre-Procedure Requirements
  • Normal blood investigations
  • Positive attitude and realistic expectations
Procedure

The duration and type of surgery depend on the size, location, and number of lesions. 
Common surgical techniques include:

  • Miniature Punch Grafting: Suitable for hands and feet.
  • Suction Blister Grafting: Ideal for small lesions on the lips and face.
  • Autologous Non-Cultured Melanocyte Suspension: Effective for extensive areas on any part of the body.
  • Autologous Non-Cultured Follicular Cell Suspension: Suitable for large or widespread areas.
  • Other options include Smash Grafting, FUE, and Excision with Closure.
Post-Procedure Care

Follow-up on the 2nd, 7th, and 15th day, then weekly for phototherapy sessions.
