Abstract
Achromic lesions are numerous and their significance is especially great in areas of the world with large numbers of dark-skinned individuals. Therapy has been difficult and discouraging. In a new surgical technique, isolated epidermis obtained by suction at 200 mm Hg is successfully used as a pigment-bearing graft to cover either achromic defects or granulating areas resulting from skin damage of diverse etiology. The procedure was useful in four typical cases.Keywords
