Surgical Treatment of Stable Vitiligo: A Case Series of Autologous Non‐Cultured Epidermal Cellular Grafting Using a Modified Protocol

This case series outlines a proposed simplified and cost-effective alternative to expensive laboratory-based autologous non-cultured epidermal suspension (NCES). In all five adult participants, 75%-100% repigmentation was observed at 6 months, with one participant experiencing unsatisfactory colour mismatch and one participant experiencing hypertrophic scarring. Larger, randomised controlled trials with extended follow-up are needed to determine the long-term efficacy and safety profile of our clinical NCES protocol.

Abstract

This case series outlines a proposed simplified and cost-effective alternative to expensive laboratory-based autologous non-cultured epidermal suspension (NCES). In all five adult participants, 75%-100% repigmentation was observed at 6 months, with one participant experiencing unsatisfactory colour mismatch and one participant experiencing hypertrophic scarring. Larger, randomised controlled trials with extended follow-up are needed to determine the long-term efficacy and safety profile of our clinical NCES protocol.
