Vitiligo is a common pigmentary disorder of the skin with a great amount of social stigma attached to it. Though various medical modalities are available for the treatment of stable vitiligo, surgical modality remains the treatment of choice for stable and localized vitiligo. The surgical options range from simple punch grafting to the recent epidermal harvesting methods using a negative pressure unit. Although successful use of multiple methods of epidermal grafting has been reported, most of them are cumbersome and time-consuming. The new automated epidermal harvesting system now commercially available involves a tool that applies both heat and suction concurrently to normal skin to induce epidermal micrografts. Hence it serves as a safe, quick and cost-effective method without anesthesia, with a very minimal downtime for healing and requires an optimal expertise. The duration of repigmentation seems to be faster and more uniform compared to other procedures. We would like to share our experience with the negative pressure epidermal harvesting method in a patient with stable vitiligo.
白癜风是一种常见的皮肤色素沉着紊乱疾病，常伴有巨大的社会污名。尽管有多种医学方法可用于治疗稳定期白癜风，但手术方法仍是稳定期局限性白癜风的首选治疗方法。手术选择范围从简单的钻孔移植到最近使用负压装置的表皮采集方法。虽然已有多种表皮移植方法成功应用的报道，但大多数方法都繁琐且耗时。目前市面上的新型自动表皮采集系统包含一种工具，可同时对正常皮肤施加热量和吸力以诱导表皮微移植。因此，它是一种安全、快速且经济高效的方法，无需麻醉，愈合后的停工时间极短，且需要最佳的专业技术。与其他手术相比，色素再生的持续时间似乎更快且更均匀。我们希望分享我们在一位稳定期白癜风患者中使用负压表皮采集方法的经验。
