Melanocytes and keratinocytes transfer using sandpaper technique combined with dermabrasion for stable vitiligo.

Background: Surgery is currently the most successful approach for difficult cases of vitiligo. The efficacy of epidermal surface removal (dermabrasion) is near 50%, and the efficacy of grafts is 70%.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a combined approach using dermabrasion and grafting for unresponsive vitiligo.
