The Professor of Surgery returned from leave and resumed charge of the Surgical Unit on September 14th, 1933.
The following publications came from the Surgical Depart- ment since last year's report :-
'A simple Face Screen' Lancet December 1981. "Three cases for Diagnosis' Caduceus August 1931. By the Prof. of Surgery.
'A Short Note on the Treatment of Suppurated Sebaceous Cyst' Caduceus 1932 (May). By the Chief Assistant Dr. S. T. Hsiu.
'A Discussion on Acute Empyema Thoracis and its Treatment' Caduceus August 1932 (Being a paper read before the Medical Society in April 1932. By the Chief Assistant-- Dr. S. T. Hsiu.
'A Method of Catheterisarion of the Auditory Tube by Tactile
Guidance Caduceus August 1932. By S. T. Hsiu.
462 inpatients were treated in the three wards of the Surgical Clinic at the Government Civil Hospital.
465 surgical operations under anaesthesia were performed.
The outpatient attendance in the Surgical Clinic (including Ear, Nose, and Throat and Orthepaedics) numbered 3,136.
There were also 2,343 new patients who attended the ophthalmic outpatients clinic.
The Surgical Unit is gravely handicapped in its University teaching by lack of any building in which academic instruction on the teaching and practice of operative surgery, the storing of teaching specimens and the conduct of surgical research can be carried on. It is hoped that in the coming year a generous doner will be forthcoming so that a special separate building to house the Surgical Unit can be commenced forthwith.
