Popis: We present two cases of finger ring impaction. Both patients tried to remove it in rural hospitals before presenting to the burns and plastic unit of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital. The male had the ring on the left index finger while the female had it on the left ring finger. The rings were removed by the use of circumferential cutaneous tissue infiltration (ring block) with plain lignocaine, strip of esmarch bandage exanguination of the finger, lubrication with K-Y jelly and then extraction.
