[Functional state and structure of gastric mucosa in patients with ulcer disease after vagotomy and pyloroplasty].

107 patients were examined in different terms after vagotomy (up to 6 years) performed for ulcerous disease of the duodenum, 43 of them--prior to and after the operation. It is found that the suppression of the acid- and enzyme secretory function of the stomach is not related to the development of the mucosa atrophy, but it is conditioned by eliminating the resolving role of vagus nerves and by a reduced sensitivity of fundic glands to humoral stimuli.
