Several scholars with links to ENT have received the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. This overview takes into account ENT Nobel nominees, who never received the award.
Drawing a comparison on the nominations collected in the archive of the Nobel Committee for physiology or medicine in Stockholm, the Nobel archive database and secondary literature; the paper analyzes for the first time the nominations of Hans Schmid (Stettin), Hermann Gutzmann (Berlin), Karl Wittmaack (Hamburg), and Chevalier Jackson (Chicago). We also bring up nomination letters written by prominent German nominators such as Hermann Schwartze (one of the founders of this journal) and August Lucae.
Hans Schmid was the first surgeon to be brought up in a Nobel Prize nomination for an ENT procedure (1901), but since he had passed away 5 years earlier he was not evaluated by the Nobel Committee. Hermann Gutzmann was a strong candidate in 1917 and reached the shortlist because of his pioneering work on stutter, but no Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine was awarded that year. In the 1930's, both Karl Wittmaack and Chevalier Jackson were repeatedly nominated for ENT research.
Nobel Prize nominations are to date underused sources that shed new light on some scholars in ENT history.
几位与耳鼻喉科有关的学者获得了诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。本文考虑了耳鼻喉科诺贝尔奖提名者，他们从未获得过该奖项。
在斯德哥尔摩诺贝尔生理学或医学委员会档案、诺贝尔档案数据库和二级文献中收集的提名进行比较；本文首次分析了 Hans Schmid（什未林）、Hermann Gutzmann（柏林）、Karl Wittmaack（汉堡）和 Chevalier Jackson（芝加哥）的提名。我们还提到了由 Hermann Schwartze（该杂志的创始人之一）和 August Lucae 等著名德国提名者撰写的提名信。
Hans Schmid 是第一位因耳鼻喉科手术而被提名为诺贝尔奖的外科医生（1901 年），但由于他在 5 年前去世，因此诺贝尔委员会没有对他进行评估。Hermann Gutzmann 是 1917 年的有力候选人，由于他在口吃方面的开创性工作而进入了短名单，但当年没有颁发诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。20 世纪 30 年代，Karl Wittmaack 和 Chevalier Jackson 多次因耳鼻喉科研究而被提名。
诺贝尔奖提名是迄今为止被低估的资源，它们为耳鼻喉科历史上的一些学者提供了新的视角。
