Summary

Seventeen severe postburn neck contractures were released under local infiltration anaesthesia and intravenous ketamine and split skin grafted. This anaesthetic technique obviates the need for endotracheal intubation which is difficult in such patients. Anaesthesia was sufficient for the procedure, blood loss was minimal and there was no graft loss. One patient had emergence phenomenon and there were no other complications attributable to the procedure.
