title: [The function of the celiac plexus in patients with duodenal ulcers].
abstract: 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. Analysis of the curves reveals two types of pathological responses characterizing increased and diminished reactivity of the celiac plexus. Diminished reactivity of the celiac plexus is characteristic of celiac ganglioneuritis with fibrosis and dystrophy of the celiac ganglia. Increased or diminished reactivity of the celiac plexus is registered in patients with duodenal ulcers, depending on the presence of complications.
