Abstract:

Vitiligo is a common disfiguring skin disorder characterized by patches of depigmentation or hypopigmentation on the skin or mucosa. Clinically, vitiligo can be categorized into progressive and stable stages. For stable vitiligo, surgical skin grafting is an essential therapeutic approach. This article systematically reviews the current commonly used skin grafting techniques for vitiligo treatment, including the advancements in tissue grafting and cellular grafting technologies. Additionally, it discusses advancements in novel grafting adjunctive techniques and postoperative care improvements that contribute to increased graft success rates.

Key words: vitiligo, stable stage, skin grafting
