Abstract

A report book unearthed in our archives contained 352 operative reports from the otorhinolaryngology department of the Armand-Trousseau Children's Hospital in Paris, dated from January 1912 to August 1920. These documents provide a snapshot of surgical activity in this field at the time. Mastoidectomy for mastoiditis was by far the most common procedure. This incomplete but original snapshot bears witness to the habits and working conditions of our predecessors, as well as to the progress made in just over a century.
