Preoperative workup
Preoperative workup
Prior to vitiligo surgery, patients should be screened for blood-borne diseases such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C. This is especially important if dermabrasion will be used in recipient site (RS) preparation, as particles may aerosolize. Most vitiligo surgeries utilize topical or local anesthesia. However, those who elect to undergo general anesthesia should be assessed for preoperative fitness. To establish a baseline and track progress, photos are taken under appropriate lighting both pre- and postoperatively. A Woodโs lamp is often used in patients with lighter skin tones to assist in visualizing depigmented areas. Measurements of the donor site (DS) and RS are also recorded (Table 52-1).
