[Management of the postoperative period after vagotomy]

To combat gastroplegia following vagotomy the authors recommend to perform open novocain blockade of the solar plexus by means of a microcatheter, inserted in the round ligament of the liver. The application of the blockade enabled the authors to manage the postoperative period without a sound, to reduce fluids and electrolytes loss by the organism and to minimize the use of anesthetics.
