[My adventure with otosclerosis].

The author presents his own experience in surgical treatment of otosclerosis in 373 patients. He particularly exposes results concerning hearing level after surgical procedures and discusses progress of symptoms which accompany otosclerosis like vertigo or dizziness and tinnitus in the context of bibliography data. He also looks at the complications occurring during procedures and following them. Worth noticing is presentation of long term results after 10-year follow-up.
