Surgical Treatment For Vitiligo

Surgical treatment for vitiligo works best for people with segmental vitiligo. In surgical management of vitiligo, the layer of skin constituting the white spots is removed, and normal melanocytes (pigment cells) from another part of the body are transplanted to the affected area through the skin or cellular graft. Melanocyte-rich tissue and melanocyte cell suspension grafting are the types of vitiligo surgery. The grafting procedure is usually done under local anesthesia.
