"Keen was one of the first surgeons to successfully remove a brain tumour (1888). He also assisted the American surgeon Joseph Bryant in removing the left upper jaw of U.S. president Grover Cleveland (1893) for a malignant tumour. The operation was performed in total secrecy on a yacht in Long Island Sound and was a complete success. Keen's account of the event was published in the Saturday Evening Post (Sept. 22, 1917). In addition to his teaching and medical work, Keen served as president of the American Medical Association (1900) and edited Surgery: Its Principles and Practice, 8 vol.
