Professor Ernst Carl Schmiegelow gave his Semon Lecture in 1937. His talk centred around improved surgical treatment of stenosis, which he claims is better than laryngostomy and cannulation. He gives a detailed description of the method he uses and claims that all cases can be treated in this way and that it is completely innocuous.
