Abstract:
Excisions of neck lesions under local anaesthesia are made technically more difficult by the injection of anaesthetic agent, causing the lesion to become less palpable. Pen marking the lesion can circumvent the problem; however, this marking often disappears after skin preparation. We describe a technique which abolishes this problem.
