The prerequisite for a successful vitiligo epidermal grafting surgery is the stable status of the disease. We used Wood's lamp to assess vitiligo activity to determine the disease stability, surgical grafting timing and the early recognition of re-pigmentation after grafting. Amelanotic lesions with sharply demarcated borders are typically stable and are good candidates for grafting. The re-pigmentation was first recognised under Wood's lamp as hypochromic islands, which progressed to normally pigmented islands. For patients more prone to relapse, follow up with Wood's lamp also provides more accurate surveillance.
白癜风表皮移植手术成功的前提是疾病的稳定状态。我们使用伍德灯评估白癜风的活动度，以确定疾病的稳定性、手术移植时机以及移植后复色的早期识别。边界清晰的无色素病变通常是稳定的，是移植的良好候选者。复色首先在伍德灯下被识别为色素减退岛，然后逐渐发展为正常色素岛。对于更容易复发的患者，伍德灯的随访也提供了更准确的监测。
