What is the cost of skin grafting surgery for vitiligo?
The cost of skin grafting for vitiligo ranges approximately from 300 to 500 yuan per square centimeter. The specific price is influenced by factors such as the area involved and the level of the hospital.
1. Area: If the white patch area is small, the treatment difficulty is relatively low. However, large areas of white patches require more medical equipment and labor costs, thus increasing the treatment cost accordingly.
2. Hospital Grade: Different levels of hospitals vary in medical equipment and services, which affects the quality and effectiveness of the surgery and is reflected in the treatment cost.
1. Autologous Epidermal Grafting: This method is suitable for patients in a stable phase, where the condition has not changed or progressed slowly for a long time. It involves removing a part of healthy skin and covering the white patch area to promote the regeneration of melanocytes and restore pigmentation. After surgery, it is necessary to maintain local cleanliness and dryness to prevent infection.
2. Microskin Grafting: This method is suitable for localized white patch lesions, such as the fingernail bed. It involves taking a thin layer of normal skin tissue from the donor site and transplanting it to the recipient site to achieve skin repair. After surgery, attention should be paid to protecting the wound surface and preventing infection.
It is recommended that patients seek medical attention promptly and choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor. Meanwhile, maintaining a light diet and ensuring sufficient sleep time can help improve immunity and promote recovery from the disease.
