title: [Conservative therapy of mastoiditis and therapeutical indications of mastoidectomy until the end of XIX century. The achievements of Varsovian physicians].
abstract: The problem of treatment of the mastoiditis was discussed long ago--in XVII and XVIII centuries by Jean Riolan (1580-1657), Werner Rolfinck (1599-1673), Jean L. Petit (1674-1750), Jasser and the others. The therapeutic indications of mastoidectomy in 1873 by Hermann Schwartze (1837-1910) is mentioned. The achievements of such German physicians as Friedrich Bezold (1842-1908) and Ernst Küster (1839-1930) are described in detail. The achievements of such Varsovian physicians as Teodor Heiman (1848-1917), Andrzej Alfred Heiman (1984-1933), Edmund Modrzejewski (1849-1893), Samuel Meyerson (1851-1939) and Ludwik Guranowski (1853-1926) are also presented.
