The combination of FCS and mini punch grafting is a better strategy for the treatment of resistant stable vitiligo. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of follicular cell suspension, mini punch grafting, and a combination of both techniques in the treatment of stable vitiligo. This prospective comparative study was conducted on 48 patients with stable vitiligo. They were divided into three equal groups, including group A (treated with follicular cell suspension), group B (treated with mini punch grafting), and group C (treated with the combination of both techniques). All patients were followed-up for six months for the assessment of their therapeutic response regarding clinical outcomes. By comparing the data of the three studied groups, we found that the difference in the degree of re-pigmentation after one and three months of treatment was not significant. However, the progress of re-pigmentation was significantly different after six months of treatment among the three studied groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.027). Specifically, re-pigmentation was significantly better in group C than in groups A and B (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.037 and 0.017, respectively), but it was not significantly different between groups A and B.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00403-024-03045-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,8]],"date-time":"2024-06-08T09:02:07Z","timestamp":1717837327000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Combination of autologous FCS and MPG versus each technique alone in the treatment of stable vitiligo"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"316","author":[{"given":"Mohamed Ibrahim","family":"ElGhareeb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abdullah Hassan","family":"Kandeel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara Ali","family":"Attia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,8]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"3045_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"733","DOI":"10.1007\/s40257-017-0298-5","volume":"18","author":"R Speeckaert","year":"2017","unstructured":"Speeckaert R, van Geel N (2017) Vitiligo: an update on pathophysiology and treatment options.
