Abstract

Vitiligo is a result of disrupted epidermal melanization with an undecided etiology and 
incompletely understood pathogenesis. Various treatment options have resulted in various 
degrees of success. Various surgical modalities and transplantation techniques have evolved 
during the last few decades. Of them, miniature punch grafting (PG) has established its place 
as the easiest, fastest, and least expensive method. Various aspects of this particular procedure 
have been discussed here. The historical perspective, the instruments, evolution of mini 
grafting down the ages, and the methodology, advantages, and disadvantages have been 
discussed.
