    Lesser curve necrosis following proximal cell vagotomy for gastric ulcer : a case report
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1979) Du Toit, D. D.; Kemp, C. B.
    A case of avascular necrosis of the lesser curve of the stomach following a highly selective vagotomy (HSV) for a gastric ulcer is reported. It is fortunately rare, but is a frightening complication. The necrosis, which is presumably ischaemic in origin, is caused by total devascularization of the lesser curvature of the stomach. The complication is usually diagnosed late and has a considerable mortality.

    Thyroglossal duct carcinoma : a case report and review of the literature
    (Health & Medical Publishing Group, 1981) Villet, W. T.; Kemp, C. B.
    A case of papillary thyroid carcinoma arising in a thyroglossal duct cyst is reported. The tumour is rare and is usually not suspected pre-operatively, and it is almost invariably only on histological examination that it is diagnosed as malignant. The clinical and pathological features are reviewed and management is discussed.
