[Selective proximal vagotomy in combination with prolonged drug blockade of the celiac plexus in the treatment of patients with duodenal ulcers].

The work deals with the results of SPV in combination with prolonged drug blockade of the celiac plexus in 78 patients with duodenal ulcers. The motor activity of the antral part of the stomach intensified and its blood supply increased after blockade of the celiac plexus. The course of the immediate postoperative period improved after SPV and the number of patients with hypokinesia of the stomach reduced.

[The function of the celiac plexus in patients with duodenal ulcers].

The authors suggest a method of transgastric electrostimulation of the celiac plexus which allows its functional condition to be appraised. The method consists in electrostimulation of the celiac plexus through a gastroscope and registration of the effect by dynamic rheohepatography. It was approbated in 23 patients with duodenal ulcers, postvagotomy syndromes, and gastroduodenitis.

In contrast to atherosclerosis, in thromboangiitis in most patients 4-8 mos after the operation, reocclusion, of the operated vessels and shunts occurred. This was conditioned by the progression of thromboangiitis.
