Dr. Waleed Tariq Karra*, Dr. Zahoor Hussain Daraz and Dr. Berkheez Shabir

ABSTRACT

The Aim of this clinical review essay is to highlight various surgical modalities employed in the treatment of vitiligo and concisely explain the procedure of each of them along with the merits and demerits. Further, an attempt has been made to briefly compare the different procedures. Hence a literature search was done, primarily with the aid of electronic resources. Multiple databases, such as systematic reviews, PubMed, Medline as well as online journals from reputed publications were adopted for stating the facts and bibliography. Online search engine, Google Scholar, was periodically used to trace the original source of a citation. Pictures have primarily been adapted from the internet. Constant critiquing of the data, to examine and point out any bias has been endeavoured.
