During the transplant what type of anesthesia is given?
During the procedure local anesthesia is given but in the case of multiple patches general anesthesia could be used.
Is one Melanocyte Transplantation enough for recovery?
Yes a person can achieve re-pigmentation in one session but this is not possible to achieve with all the patients and repeat surgery is required to improve the results.
How we do it at Care Well Medical Centre?
In our clinic we take great precaution in ensuring the place is clean and sterile so there could be no infection. Once room is ready a thin shave biopsy is taken which is mostly from the anterior, upper third of thigh. The biopsy is carefully processed using an enzyme to separate the layers of skin and to make a skin cell suspension. Once that process is completed we now have melanocytes-keratinocytes (epidermal cells). Next the area which is to be treated is abraded with diamond fraize wheel and the cell suspension is applied covered with dry collagen sheet, which helps to keep cells in place and starts the healing. After that the doctor uses micropore or tegaderm depending on sites involved.
How much time the melanocyte transplantation procedure takes?
The procedure can last anywhere between one to three hours.
How much time melanocyte transplantation takes to recover?
Once you are discharged the dressing will remain for one week. You would be given very strict instructions to follow to ensure the recovery is smooth. After one week the doctor will remove the dressing and patient will see the appearance of bright red and re-pigmentation begins. It takes 4 to 8 weeks and full results will be seen 4 to 6 months post surgery.
Will there be pain post Surgery?
Yes patient could experience post operative pain but it depends upon the areas treated.
Are there any complications & Side Effects?
- There could be some scarring and surgery may cause new lesions but that is rare.
- There is always a possibility of bacterial infection which can be stopped with oral antibiotics
- Color mismatch.
We at Care Well Medical Centre have had a lot of success with Melanocyte Transplantation because it not very hard on the patient since this is an outpatient procedure after the anesthesia wore off. Also a large area of the affected area can be treated in one operative session and just from a small piece of normal skin it is possible to treat large affected area with minimal or no side effects.
Melanocyte Transplantation is the best treatment even for large areas
Melanocyte transplantation is the latest procedure to manage vitiligo/leukoderma and the best way to treat large areas. The results from it are superior than other surgical methods such as skin grafting and punch grafting and complicated areas like bony surface, areola, genitals and knuckles can be treated and at Care Well Medical Centre Dr. Sandeep Bhasin has been giving patients excellent results.
