Excretion of Fat after Vagotomy Alone and in Combination with Pyloroplasty: an Experimental Study

摘要: Faeces were collected for five days so as to obtain a repre sentative daily stool excretion. At the end of faecal collec tion total excretion fat was estimated by technique Kamer, Huinink, and Weyers (1949). For one day preced ing duration collection dogs fed diet consisting 1.3 g. 200 calories/kg. body weight. The composed boiled, sliced ox liver. Total vagotomy performed on 10 trans thoracic route, via left sixth interspace. Anterior selective accomplished, also in dogs, long subcostal incision. hepatic branches anterior vagus identified without difficulty, preserved, they passed lesser omentum porta hepatis. Most after drainage vomited immediate post-operative phase, but nevertheless able maintain their fluid electrolyte balance means oral feeding. However, two required 2 litres each normal saline subcutaneously because more severe vomiting. By time undertaken post-operatively tendency vomit had subsided then taken normally. Pyloroplasty Heineke-Mikulicz type per formed alone seven incision through pylorus extending 6 cm. This closed with continuous 2/0 chromic catgut suture.
