Abstract

Vitiligo is a disorder characterized by the development of depigmented macules and patches secondary to melanocyte destruction. Several treatment options are available, including medical, light-based, and surgical therapies, that are often used in combination to achieve maximal repigmentation. Vitiligo surgery is an effective yet underperformed treatment, mainly because of lack of awareness and availability. The purpose of this article is to review one method of vitiligo surgery, the melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation procedure, and discuss its utility in treating vitiligo.
