The donor site was dermabraded after applying mupirocin ointment, and the material obtained was spread over the dermabraded recipient site. NBUVB phototherapy was initiated 3 weeks after the procedure and given for 3 months. Photographs were taken before the procedure and at the end of 3rd<\/jats:sup> month of phototherapy and assessed for extent, pattern, and color matching of repigmented area according to physician global assessment (PGA) score and patient satisfaction score (PSS). Dermoscopic improvement was also noted.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults:<\/jats:title>\nForty-five patients were enrolled in the study, out of which 43 patients completed the study. According to the intention to treat analysis, results were calculated in all 45 patients. Good to excellent response (50\u2013100% improvement) was seen in 46.7% of patients according to the PGA score and in 57.8% of patients according to PSS. Most patients achieved the same color match with their normal skin at the end of the follow-up (73.3%). The most common repigmentation pattern was diffuse (46.7%), both clinically and dermoscopically. Among the clinical types, vitiligo vulgaris showed the maximum good to excellent repigmentation (61.3% and 77.4% of patients with PGA scores and PSS, respectively). Adverse effects were erythema, infection, and post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation at the donor and recipient sites, whereas scarring was seen at the recipient site.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion:<\/jats:title>\nIt is a safe, simplified, cost-effective, and less time-consuming technique than earlier techniques and provides good to excellent repigmentation in a considerable proportion of participants.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.25259\/jcas_116_2024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T12:44:08Z","timestamp":1739277848000},"page":"48-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.25259\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Efficacy of non-cultured non-trypsinized dermabraded epidermal cell graft followed by narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy in stable vitiligo"],"prefix":"10.25259","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Dhriti","family":"Chugh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seetharam Anjaneyulu","family":"Kolalapudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seva","family":"Praveen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Subhashini","family":"Konala","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Narreddy Sai","family":"Swetha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mareddy Koushik","family":"Reddy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology, and Leprosy, GSL Medical College, Rajahmahendravaram, Andhra Pradesh, India,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"10894","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10.25259\/JCAS_116_2024\/ref-1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.1186\/1477-7525-1-58","article-title":"Quality of life in patients with vitiligo","volume":"23","author":"Parsad","year":"2003","journal-title":"Health Qual Life Outcomes"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCAS_116_2024\/ref-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.4103\/ijd.IJD_822_19","article-title":"A nationwide, multicentric case-control study on vitiligo (MEDEC-V) to elicit the magnitude and correlates","volume":"65","author":"Sarma","year":"2020","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCAS_116_2024\/ref-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"32","DOI":"10.4103\/ijdvl.IJDVL_1130_16","article-title":"Autologous noncultured melanocyte-keratinocyte transplantation in stable vitiligo: A randomized comparative study of recipient site preparation by two techniques","volume":"85","author":"Gupta","year":"2019","journal-title":"Indian J Dermatol Venereol Leprol"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCAS_116_2024\/ref-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"873","DOI":"10.1097\/00042728-200110000-00006","article-title":"Modified technique of autologous noncultured epidermal cell transplantation for repigmenting vitiligo: A pilot study","volume":"27","author":"Van Geel","year":"2001","journal-title":"Dermatol Surg"},{"key":"10.25259\/JCAS_116_2024\/ref-5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-2077.53100","article-title":"Stability in vitiligo?","volume":"2","author":"Lahiri","year":"2009","journal-title":"What's that?
