Vitiligo is an acquired progressive disorder characterized by destruction of melanocytes in the lesion and the lesional hair follicles. A number of new therapeutic options for vitiligo have become available over the last decade or so both on the medical as well as surgical side. One among them is the smashed skin grafting or simply smash grafting, which is a modification of split-thickness grafting. In this method, the graft undergoes "smashing" before being applied to the recipient site. Though a simple and effective procedure, very few people are doing the procedure either due to lack of awareness or due to lack of published data.
Smash skin grafting was performed in 26 patients with vitiligo in Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Sewagram, Maharashtra, India.
Smashed skin grafting helped to achieve more than 90% repigmentation of the vitiligo patches in our patients.
Smashed skin grafting is a simple procedure with fewer side effects, better outcome, and high patient satisfaction or, in simple words, it can be considered as an alternative to various conventional surgical modalities like punch grafting and melanocyte cell culture methods. This article deals with the steps of the procedure, results of the surgery in a small group of patients, and the necessity of increasing the awareness of smash grafting.
白癜风是一种后天获得的进行性疾病，其特征是皮损和皮损内毛囊中的黑素细胞破坏。在过去的十年左右，无论是在医学还是手术方面，都出现了许多新的白癜风治疗选择。其中之一是磨皮移植，也称为简单磨皮移植，它是分层移植的一种改良。在这种方法中，移植前要先进行“粉碎”。虽然这是一种简单有效的方法，但由于缺乏认识或缺乏已发表的数据，很少有人进行这种手术。
在印度马哈拉施特拉邦 sewagram 的 Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences，对 26 例白癜风患者进行了磨皮移植。
磨皮移植帮助我们的患者实现了超过 90%的白癜风斑块复色。
磨皮移植是一种简单的手术，副作用较少，效果更好，患者满意度高，或者简单地说，它可以作为各种传统手术方法（如打孔移植和黑素细胞培养方法）的替代方法。本文介绍了该手术的步骤、少数患者的手术结果以及提高对磨皮移植认识的必要性。
