Does oesophagostomy interfere with the vagal innervation of the stomach? Experiments with a modified Komarov procedure in dogs.
Basal gastric secretion, stimulation with 2-DG and pentagastrin, and serum gastrin levels were examined in 5 dogs before and after lateral cervical oesophagostomy. Acid secretion rates were not affected by surgery. It is concluded that cervical oesophagostomy in dogs does not affect vagal stimulation of gastric acid secretion.
