title: Iatrogenic diseases in the surgery of the ear.
abstract: We made a retrospective study of 419 cases, who had undergone otological surgery for different reasons. In 55 of them we judged, that the pathology, may have been due to the previous surgery carried out in different hospitals. The disease encountered may have been iatrogenic. We have proceeded analyse of the probable cause and to suggest some techniques for dealing with the problem. We have also suggested criteria for the surgery and for the prevention of this occurrence.
