Annual Report of the School
Aural Surgeon.
Mr. J. C. HOGG, F.R.C.S.
For the year ending 31st December, 1935.
To the Chairman and Members of the
Enfield Education Committee.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I beg to submit my report on the work done in the Aural
Department for the year ending 31st December, 1935.
During the year we have dealt with 227 cases, of which 150
were new attendances. The total number of attendances was 621.
Of these 150 have been discharged cured, and there are 14 cases
of a recurrent nature which require occasional attendance, but
which have again been discharged. There are 46 children under
treatment ; 13 have refused treatment, and in three cases treatment
was sought elsewhere, either privately or in hospital.
Thirty-five cases have been recommended for the removal of
tonsils and adenoids, of which 18 have had the operation, 7 are
awaiting operation, and 9 have refused treatment.
Two cases of long-standing aural suppuration were admitted,
under my care, to the Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, Golden
Square, for mastoid operation. They both attend the clinic now,
for occasional inspection or treatment.
During the year under review, 33 infants, totalling 65 attendances,
have been seen in the Aural Clinic, referred from the Welfare
Centre. One of these remains under treatment.
Once again I would like to express my thanks to the nursing
staff of Southbury Road, and other clinics, for their enthusiastic
help and co-operation in the work of this department, during the
past year.
A detailed list of cases is appended.
I am, Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,
J. C. HOGG,
School Aural Surgeon.
