[The use of the ox's vein for myringotomy of the ear].
The study presents a modification of the method developed by Zini et al. to prepare an ox's vein for a myringoplasty. The graft of the vein was pickled in a trypsin solution, fixed in formaldehyde and stored in a 70% ethanol solution. It was established that the incubation period of the vein in the trypsin solution required to produce the best histological specimens for this purpose was 5 hours. The preparation of the ox vein for a graft with the use of trypsin is relatively simple and inexpensive. Xenografts of ox veins for use in myringoplasties in humans are a good material and may be successfully used both in reconstructions of large defects in the tympanic membrane and in operations to correct congenital atresia of the ear.
