Description
Summary:Vitiligo is an acquired depigmentation skin disease characterized by a decrease or loss of function of melanocytes.The conventional treatment for vitiligo include drug therapy, phototherapy and surgical treatment. As an important surgical treatment for vitiligo, cell transplantation is effective especially for the case which is stable, limited or fail to respond to other methods,but the recoloration rate varies greatly. The combination therapy is a better choice to maximize the recoloration of skin lesions in patients with refractory vitiligo. In recent years, reports on the combined strategy of cell transplantation have gradually increased, bringing new hope to improve the rate of discoloration of vitiligo patients. This paper reviews the progress of the application of cell transplantation combination strategy aiming for providing more options for the clinical treatment of refractory vitiligo.
