Abstract
SummarySeventeen severe postburn neck contractures were released under local infiltration anaesthesia and intravenous ketamine and split skin grafted.

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.
