[Morphological changes of stomach innervation after vagotomy]
Abstract:
The morphologic signs of response of the peripheric neural system of the stomach to vagotomy in animals and in patients with the ulcer disease were compared. The innervative apparatus of the stomach was studied in 4 intact dogs (control), 6 animals who underwent selective proximal vagotomy (SPV) and in 13 patients with the ulcer disease reoperated after SPV performance in connection with the development of a recurrent ulcer. Compensatory possibilities of the innervative apparatus of the stomach in human are lower than those in animals.
