Abstract

An overview of vitiligo surgery has been discsused in the previous chapter. Historical aspects have been adequately described in several references. Among all the techniques described for surgical management of vitiligo, mini punch grafting (MPG) is the easiest, fastest, least aggressive and minimal expensive technique. Since the dermatologist is familiar with the punch, this technique is easily learnt and is usually the first technique performed by a beginner. Considering all the indicators and parameters, it can be concluded that mini grafting is an easy, inexpensive, effective method of treating stable and recalcitrant vitiligo. The advantages and disadvantages are summarized in this chapter.
