An investigation that compares selective vagotomy and pyloroplasty with truncal vagotomy
and pyloroplasty in dogs with massive bowel resection is reported. The results suggest the …

Mongrel dogs were subjected to resection of two-thirds of the small intestine. In one group of
animals the proximal portion of the small bowel was removed, and in another group the …

Vagotomy has been shown to reduce body weight in several species of experimental
animals. Due to the relative safety and simplicity of the procedure and the long-clinical …

Results All four dogs remained in good health throughout the period of study, and weight
loss was minimal. Results of the tests for completeness of gastric vagotomy are presented in …

Based on animal experiments, on the original clinical observations of Dragstedt, and on
similarities with appetitive behavior after jejunoileostomy, truncal vagotomy has been …

In order to identify the various types of vagotomy, we divided the operation into four types:
total vagotomy (type I); bilateral selective vagotomy (type 11); anterior selective vagotomy …

The feasibility of selectively denervating the stomach during vagotomy* with preservation of
the hepatic and celiac branches became patently clear to us for the first time during a casual …

Vagotomy does not produce a marked effect on intestinal activity. However, the following
differences between the normal and vagotomized animal were noted. After section of the …
