[The effect of proximal selective vagotomy on experimental gastric mucosal lesions in the rat].

The influence of the proximal selective vagotomy (PSV) on the origin and the extent of experimental gastric ulcer were investigated in rats. The lesions of the gastric mucosa were caused in three groups: by stress through swimming-test, by application of phenylbutazone, and by ischemia (ligature of the left gastric and the right gastroepiploic vessels). The PSV practised a protective influence on the pharmacodynamic etiology, however, not on the stress ulcer. The areas of the ischemic gastric ulcers were larger on an average of 40% after PSV than in the control animals. The difference was not statistically significant. In case the PSV caused besides hyposecretion and hypo-acidity even passive hyperemia caused in the denervated part of the stomach then these did not produce any sufficient defence against the origin of stress ulcers and ischemic lesions.
