[Methods of surgical and pharmacotherapeutic influence on the celiac plexus in abdominal surgery]
Abstract:
Literature and own experience in surgical, surgical-pharmacological and contact electro-pharmacological influence on the celiac plexus for correction of dysfunctions in the upper abdominal diseases are analyzed. Original surgical procedures on sympathetic nerves in celiac neuro-ischemic syndrome, chronic duodenal obstruction, duodenal ulcer, and also methods of catheterization and electro-pharmacological impact on celiac plexus in celiac ganglioneuritis and surgical trauma of the stomach are described.

Sympathetic Pathways: Collateral Ganglia and Adrenal Medulla
Collateral Ganglia
Sympathetic preganglionic axons reach the collateral ganglia along the route of splanchnic nerves. These nerves bypass the sympathetic trunk and communicate with sympathetic postganglionic neurons housed in the prevertebral ganglia. These ganglia supply the organs of the abdominopelvic cavity.
The greater splanchnic nerve, formed by the...
