[Historical analysis of otosclerosis surgery].
In the present work main surgical techniques used along the history to solve hypoacusis caused by otosclerosis (opening of the timpani box internal wall, <<duramater aeration>>, puncture of cephalorachidium liquid, etc.) are studied. Those which have been more spread due to their results are analyzed in more depth (fenestration of the horizontal semicircular ductus, stapes mobilization and stapedectomy).
