Vitiligo Surgery in Udaipur
Vitiligo, also known as Leukoderma, is a skin condition where irregular white patches appear on different parts of the body. This happens when the melanocytes—cells responsible for producing melanin, the pigment that gives skin its colour—are destroyed or stop functioning. It is one of the most common depigmenting disorders, affecting about 0.5–1% of the global population, regardless of age, race, or gender.
At Star Hospital, Udaipur, we offer advanced Vitiligo Surgery options performed by an experienced Board-Certified Plastic & Cosmetic Surgeon. Our goal is to restore the skin’s natural tone and help patients regain confidence through safe, precise, and effective treatment methods.
Understanding Vitiligo Surgery
Certain types of vitiligo respond well to surgical treatment when the disease is stable. The principle behind surgery is to transfer healthy pigment cells (melanocytes) from normally pigmented areas to the depigmented patches. Over time, these transplanted cells begin producing pigment, gradually blending with the surrounding skin and reducing the visibility of white patches.
Surgical Treatments for Vitiligo
-
Melanocyte Transplantation (MKTP)
Also known as Non-Cultured Melanocyte-Keratinocyte Transplantation Procedure, this modern technique involves transferring a cell suspension containing melanocytes and keratinocytes from a donor site to the depigmented area. It offers natural colour restoration and high success rates when performed by an expert surgeon. -
Skin Grafting
Thin layers of healthy skin are harvested using grafting knives and transplanted onto the affected areas after superficial removal of the epidermis. While this method is highly efficient, it may occasionally lead to colour mismatch or mild graft shrinkage. -
Epidermal Grafting
This technique involves creating small blisters using suction at the donor site. The blister roof (epidermis) is then grafted onto the depigmented area. It leaves no scars and provides natural results but is more time-consuming and suitable for treating smaller areas. -
Mini Grafting / Punch Grafting
Tiny skin grafts are placed at regular intervals within the white patches. Although simple and effective, this method may cause mild textural irregularities such as a “cobblestone” appearance if not performed precisely.
