Abstract

Otosclerosis surgery has seen three well-differentiated stages of development: a) SHC fenestration; b) stapes mobilization, and c) platinectomy, a procedure introduced in 1960 by Shea. Since then, only one variation has been proposed: platinotomy. After a comparative study of platinectomy versus platinotomy, we, like other authors, concluded that platinotomy was a better technique because of the ease of execution and good functional results.
