[The pathophysiological basis of vagotomy in perforated duodenal ulcers]
Abstract:
Fractional intubation, intragastric pH-metry and other methods were used in complex examination of 107 patients who had perforated duodenal ulcers. The influence of surgical vagotomy upon the state of tissue blood flow was determined by means of polarography with a medicamentous vagotomy test. The medicamentous denervation was found to result in decreased blood supply of the acid-producing area and increased blood filling of the duodenum mucose. A conclusion is made that performing vagotomy is expedient after suturing the ulcer defect in patients having no diffuse purulent peritonitis.

In the antrum region, G cells secrete the gastrin hormone that binds to gastrin-cholecystokinin-B (CCK2) receptors on parietal and enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells in the fundic glands. Simultaneously, the vagus nerve releases acetylcholine, which binds to M3...

Peptic Ulcer Disease I: Introduction
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
