Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Some cases of focal or segmental vitiligo are refractory to medical treatment, and surgical management is the treatment of choice. Postsurgical exposure to ultraviolet B rays can lead to faster and better cosmetic results.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the long-term results of combination therapy with split-skin-thickness grafting and 308-nm excimer laser for the management of stable focal or segmental vitiligo.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: Seventeen patients (8 female, 9 male) with stable focal or segmental vitiligo not responding to nonsurgical modalities were treated with split-skin-thickness grafting and postgrafting with 32 sessions of 308-nm excimer laser, beginning 2 weeks after surgery. The patients were followed up every year for evaluation of results.
RESULTS: All seventeen (100%) patients showed repigmentation, and overall results were graded as excellent in 12 patients and good in the other five at the end of excimer laser therapy. Final evaluation done at the end of 1 year revealed excellent results in all 17 patients. Two patients developed new vitiligo lesion on other parts of the body during follow-up. None of the patients developed depigmentation of the transplanted skin.
CONCLUSION: Combination treatment with split-skin-thickness grafting and postsurgical exposure to 308-nm excimer laser in patients with stable focal or segmental vitiligo can lead to fast, cosmetically good, long-lasting results.
