Autologous non-cultured melanocyte–keratinocyte transplantation procedure (MKTP) or NCES is one of the simplest cellular grafting techniques. The technique introduced into the dermatology arena since 1992, has seen various modifications and changes over the years, making it cost-effective and simple. However, in developing nations like ours, the procedure being a highly specialized and skilled one, still has found a limited popularity due to the cost involved. This talk aims to further simplify the technique and adapt it to a resource-poor set-up where cost is a deterrent and procuring expensive solvents and equipment may be a limiting factor. Also, there are several non-vitiligo causes of leucoderma including post-burn depigmentation, piebaldism, halo nevus, post-laser depigmentation, chemical leucoderma, post-discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) depigmentation, wherein medical modalities do not help and hence NCES could be a viable treatment option. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of NCES in these conditions as well.<br/>Additionally, certain tips and tricks that have been learnt over the 10 year experience of performing this procedure, will be discussed.
