"In the summer of 1935, [Olivecrona] was visited by the British neurosurgeon pioneer Geoffrey Jefferson, who then wrote: 'Olivecrona is first-rate; he works calmly and methodically and yet gets his bone flaps up in 12-15 minutes. He uses the Martel drill and a bone saw designed by Max Stille--a very great improvement over the old Gigli saw. Olivecrona operates on at least two cases a day, five days a week' " (English translation of article on Herbert Olivecrona by Bengt Ljunggren in online Swedish biographical dictionary).

First Edition. SIGNED BY GEOFFREY JEFFERSON TO MRS. KESSEL: "For Mrs. Kessel from the victim/ of so much kindess initiated/ by Frank K./ Geoffrey Jefferson/ from her home 10 May 1946." Journal issue in honor of Geoffrey Jefferson on the occasion of his 60th birthday on April 10, 1946. The issue includes tributes to Jefferson from Wilder Penfield, R. A. Bailey, G. F. R. (= G. F. Rowbotham), James Hardman. W. R. Henderson). F. K. Kessel was the author of "Cranial Surgery in Salerno", which is on pp. 90-97 of this issue. It concerns the "Bamberg Surgery" from the 12th century. About Frank K. Kessel: "Among the many Jewish medical refugees in the United Kingdom, two were to work closely with Jefferson. One of them, Eugen Pollak, the distinguished neuropathologist who had been recommended by Cairns, had been interned in the Isle of Man as an alien on the outbreak of war. He had now been released and was able to work in the pathology department. . . . He died shortly after the end of the war. Later, a neurosurgeon named F. K. Kessel came to Manchester and became an important member of the neurosurgical department. . . . It was in December of that year, 1941, that F. K. Kessel came to work for Jefferson. He was about 40 years old, and a fully trained neurosurgeon. As such he was able to provide much needed help with some of the operating, especially during the many days when Jeff was away from Manchester. In addition, Kessel saw some of the private patients when requested. He remained in Manchester until about 1948, when he went to live and work in Switzerland" (Peter H. Schurr, "So That was Life, a Biography of Sir Geoffrey Jefferson", pp. 211 and 219). Signed by Author(s).…

The Sherrington Lectures, 3. - Liverpool, Universtiy Press, 1954, kl.-8°, 61, (1) pp., 24 fig., orig. wrappers. Rare Offprint! "Since Jefferson's description of unusually large suprasellar extensions of pituitary adenomas almost fifty years ago,' these giant lesions remain a significant challenge for neurosurgeons. In spite of the development of transsphenoidal micro- surgical techniques, some authors still consider the subfrontal transcranial approach preferable for very large tumors. The introduction of dopamine agonistic agents (bromocriptine) has opened new perspectives in the management of prolactinomas since significant tumor shrinkage and reduction of serum-prolactin levels can be obtained thus preparing the patient's tissues for an easier surgical procedure." Gérard Mohr, Jules Hardy, Ronald Comtois and Hughes Beauregard: Surgical Management of Giant Pituitary Adenomas. Can. J. Neurol Sci., 17 (1990): pp.62-66 "Jefferson was the first to report a series of massive adenomas, some of which had a suprasellar extension of more than 7 cm. Symon et al [10], in a recent review, state that they consider an adenoma giant only when it has a suprasellar extension of more than 40 mm or is within 6 mm of the foramen of Monro. In this communication we describe the clinicopathologic findings in a case of giant pituitary adenoma, which were comparable to those in cases reported earlier." "Giant pituitary adenomas are uncommon tumors. Jefferson, in 1940, was the first to report a series of large tumors, and described them as massive adenomas. Since then, our knowledge of such tumors has been limited to a few case reports." V.K. Srivastava, K. S. Narayanaswamy, and T. Vasudev Rao: Giant Pituitary Adenoma.
