Residual areas of acid secretion in the cat stomach after incomplete vagotomy

Proximal gastric vagotomies were carried out in 5 cats and small residual areas of acid secretion (detected by an intragastric pH probe at laparotomy) were recorded and compared 3 and 6 months later. No consistent changes in the size of these residual areas occurred, but further studies using the described technique would be worthwhile.
