Background
Punch grafting is a well-established treatment for vitiligo, but predictive factors for outcomes are not well established.
Objective
To determine the characteristics of responses to punch grafting performed in patients with vitiligo.
Methods and Materials
Retrospective, single-center chart review. Response rates were assessed using photographs taken before and after grafting using a 1.5-mm punch instrument. Effectiveness of repigmentation was assessed using the following scale: worse, no improvement, 0% to 25% improvement, 25% to 50% improvement, 50% to 75% improvement, and 75% to 100% improvement. Repigmentation rates were correlated with patient demographics.
Results
Thirty-seven charts were reviewed, ...
