The personal experience in plastic-reconstructive surgery with 395 cases of sub-vigil anaesthesia (neuroleptanalgesia + benzodiazepine in 124 patients (group A); ketamine + benzodiazepine in 138 patients (group B); neuroleptanalgesia + ketamine + benzodiazepine in 133 patients (group C) is described by the authors in the present study. They conclude that the sub-vigil anaesthesia is usually free from complications and a very safe, tolerable, expedient technique for plastic surgical procedures; furthermore, the result is good patient acceptance, a stable blood pressure and heart rate.
