The pretibial and calf skin blood pressure was measured in 34 legs, of which 20 suffered from ilio-femoral arterial stenosis and 14 from popliteal arterial stenosis. The constantly higher calf than pretibial pressure in both groups of patients studied strengthens the place of the long posterior flaps in below knee amputation.

In a series of 306 consecutive patients who had thyroid or parathyroid surgery for benign or malignant lesions attention was paid to a technique in which particular emphasis was laid on meticulous haemostasis and suction drainage of the postoperative serosanguineous fluid. This not only reduced the morbidity associated with haematoma formation and infection but also contributed to a good cosmetic result.
