Microskin Grafting for Stable Vitiligo of the Penis and Vulva: Near Total Uniform Pigmentation.

BACKGROUND: The vitiligo of the penis and vulva is a difficult to treat region of the body where the existing surgical repigmentation methods usually do not give satisfactory results.

OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of microskin grafting in stable genital vitiligo.

METHODS: Four male patients and 1 female patient were included in this study, and microskin grafting was performed in the stable vitiliginous areas of genitals under regional anaesthesia.

RESULTS: The microskin grafting technique has shown desired results at these sites with near total pigmentation and negligible donor area deformity.

CONCLUSION: The microskin grafting for vitiligo is simple, reliable, and the most cost-effective technique of tissue grafting that has all the benefits of the latest cellular grafting techniques without its high cost and infrastructure.
