The most frequent treatment used for vitiligo is PUVA (psoralen plus ultraviolet A) and topical steroids but against stable refractory vitiligo, various other surgical techniques have been developed such as autografting, epidermal grafting with suction blisters, epithelial sheet grafting, and transplantation of cultured melanocytes. We have discovered a new method using ultrasonic abrasion, seed\u2010grafting and PUVA therapy. The ultrasonic surgical aspirator abrades only the epidermis of recipient sites. This easily and safely removes only the epidermis, even on spotty lesions or intricate regions which are difficult to remove using a conventional motor\u2010driven grinder or liquid nitrogen. Epidermal seed\u2010grafting can cover more area than sheet\u2010grafting, and subsequent PUVA treatment can enlarge the area of pigmentation with coalescence of adjacent grafts. In this article, we provide a general overview of the current surgical therapies including our method for treating stable refractory vitiligo.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1034\/j.1600-0749.2002.02034.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,3,12]],"date-time":"2003-03-12T16:36:46Z","timestamp":1047487006000},"page":"331-334","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Approaches to Repigmentation of Vitiligo Skin: New Treatment with Ultrasonic Abrasion, Seed\u2010Grafting and Psoralen Plus Ultraviolet A Therapy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Katsuhiko","family":"Tsukamoto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Atsushi","family":"Osada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Reiko","family":"Kitamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masayuki","family":"Ohkouchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shinji","family":"Shimada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osami","family":"Takayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(98)70194-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0190-9622(96)90691-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(95)91287-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1649","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1988.01670110009002","article-title":"Treatment of localized vitiligo by autologous minigrafting","volume":"124","author":"Falabella R.","year":"1988","journal-title":"Arch Dermatol"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(95)90292-9"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000018089"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archderm.1988.01670110016003"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(95)91329-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0190-9622(92)70032-B"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2133.1995.tb08715.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0749.1989.tb00186.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0090-4295(83)90499-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006123-197805000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00006534-199604001-00024"}],"container-title":["Pigment Cell Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1034%2Fj.1600-0749.2002.02034.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1034%2Fj.1600-0749.2002.02034.x","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1034\/j.1600-0749.2002.02034.x","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,28]],"date-time":"2023-09-28T04:57:08Z","timestamp":1695877028000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1034\/j.1600-0749.2002.02034.x"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,5]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2002,10]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1034\/j.1600-0749.2002.02034.x"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1034\/j.1600-0749.2002.02034.x","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0893-5785","1600-0749"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0893-5785","type":"print"},{"value":"1600-0749","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2002,9,5]]}}}
