Effects of vagotomy on the lymphatic system of the small intestine

1989 
: Vagotomy in experiments induces compensatory dilatation of the lymph vessels of the small intestine, which is directed at correction of the microcirculatory shifts encountered in the postoperative period in the form of venous stasis and edema of the wall of the small intestine. Vagotomy leads to slowing down and terminal shift of digestion and exclusion of the duodenal lymph vessels from the process of absorption and transportation of fat. The restoration of the morphology and function of the lymph vessels in the late postoperative period is determined by the type of vagotomy. Microcirculation and the state of the lymphatic system improve more rapidly and fully after selective proximal vagotomy.
