Patients’ confidence in vitiligo surgery has been boosted as many forms of vitiligo are treatable with the help of surgical approaches, like cellular or skin grafts. The concept involves removal of the top skin layer involving white spots, which is then replaced with healthy melanocytes taken from other part of the body.
The typical surgical methods for vitiligo include suction blister grafting, miniature punch grafting, and thin split thickness skin grafting. More advanced procedures involve cultured melanocyte suspensions or sheets and autologous noncultured epidermal cell suspensions.

It is usually performed for the treatment for ingrown toenails, traumatic nails,deformed nails and nail tumours.
Nail surgical procedures and treatments are given depending on the condition of the nail. Extent of disease and medical co-morbidities also come into play while deciding on the treatment to be given.

Laser surgery is a common surgery these days that employs beams of special light and not surgical instruments to carry out the procedures. LASER is the short form of Light Amplification by the Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Although Laser surgery has gained momentum now but laser was developed in 1960.

Deep or large moles can be removed by surgery. Usually this is performed by punch or elliptical excision of moles.
Mole elimination generally involves a short time and is typically conducted on an outpatient basis in a clinic or a hospital.

Various types of abnormal skin growths, moles, warts, and minor skin cancers can be removed by the r application of liquid nitrogen on the skin.
This is called Cryosurgery. It involves the employment of tremendous cold temperature to kill abnormal tissues, called tumours. Besides liquid nitrogen, Argon or carbon dioxide may also be used to create cold temperature for the treatment.
