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.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings (JIDSP) publishes peer-reviewed, invited papers relevant to all aspects of cutaneous biology and skin disease. Papers in the JIDSP are often initially presented at a scientific meeting. Potential topics include biochemistry, biophysics, carcinogenesis, cellular growth and regulation, clinical research, development, epidemiology and other population-based research, extracellular matrix, genetics, immunology, melanocyte biology, microbiology, molecular and cell biology, pathology, pharmacology and percutaneous absorption, photobiology, physiology, and skin structure.
