The question has been risen whether "pancreatic polypeptide" (PP) determination is a suitable index for a successful vagotomy. Three months after truncal vagotomy (TV) there was only a slight postprandial increase of PP levels whereas five years after TV a normal PP response was found compared to controls. Vagal induced PP release was completely abolished after TV. Selective proximal vagotomy did not influence vagal and food stimulated PP release significantly. It can be concluded that PP determination does not prove to be a suitable index for a successful vagotomy.
“胰多肽”（PP）测定是否是迷走神经切断术成功的合适指标这一问题已经被提出。在进行全胃迷走神经切断术（TV）三个月后，餐后PP水平仅有轻微升高，而在TV术后五年，与对照组相比发现PP反应正常。TV术后迷走神经诱导的PP释放完全被消除。选择性近端迷走神经切断术对迷走神经和食物刺激的PP释放没有显著影响。可以得出结论，PP测定并非迷走神经切断术成功的合适指标。
