title: [Comparison between two current methods of surgical treatment for otosclerosis].
abstract: Statistical comparison is established between two methods of stapedectomy, the first one being the "Teflon-interposition", the second being Schuknecht's method (gelfoam and preformed wire). There is statistical evidence that the Teflon-interposition method is better. The results are also compared with those of other workers.
