[Maurice Sourdille, otologist of Nantes, famous and unknown].
Fenestration was the first surgical operation to improve deaf persons affected by otosclerosis. Its story is on a par with Maurice Sourdille's. Not only this author had perfected this surgery even before the use of antibiotics and audiometry but he was a forerunner in the field of ear surgery and in medical otology.
