ABSTRACT
The principle of surgery in vitiligo is to obtain cosmetically acceptable repigmentation of vitiliginous lesions. Patients of vitiligo suffer psychologically and are often desperate to seek relief due to the stigma attached to the disease. Hence, proper evaluation of not only the clinical but also the psychological aspects is required. Counseling of the patients with respect to the disease, treatments, and outcomes are vital in order for patients to have realistic expectations.
