The selective nerve stain leucomethylene blue as an intraoperative aid to achieving complete vagotomy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The recently reported vagal nerve stain leucomethylene blue was assessed in 20 patients as an intraoperative aid to attaining complete vagotomy. Of 101 stained specimens removed at surgery, only 30 (30%) contained nerve tissue. Four of 17 postoperative insulin tests were positive by Hollander's criteria. The dye technique was found to be an unreliable method of ensuring complete vagotomy at the time of surgery.

A Two-stage Method for Vital Staining with Rongalit Methylene Blue
A new method is described for vital staining of nervous tissue with methylene blue; it involves impregnation of whole embryos or tissue-fragments with the rongalitreduced dye under anaerobic conditions at pH 5, followed by development of the stain in an oxygenated neutral saline solution. Determinations of the solubility of leucomethylene blue and experiments on vital staining with it and with ...

Correspondence BJOUr that "after many attempts to find any small intact nerves, the search was abandoned." I am sure that in a case of this nature the dye would have enabled him to find most of these small intact nerves. In a personal communication to me on the use of leucomethylene blue to detect the vagal fibres, A. A. Gunn stated that in 65 truncal vagotomies done in 1970, in 54 of these ope...
متن کاملThe effect of vagotomy on gastric adaptation.
Gastric adaptation was impaired immediately after the performance of complete vagotomy in a series of 20 acute experiments in the dog. Preliminary isolation of the intact vagi in 10 of these animals produced alterations in adaptation similar to those seen after vagal division. It is concluded that alterations in gastric adaptation are not a reliable intraoperative aid to complete vagotomy. Thes...
متن کاملExperimental basis and clinical application of extended highly selective vagotomy for duodenal ulcer.
An ideal operation for a benign disease, such as duodenal ulcer, must be effective, relatively free of serious postoperative complications and standardized for effective performance. Highly selective vagotomy, an operation known to have few side effects, has not been adopted by many surgeons because of the concerns about postoperative recurrent ulcers, as well as by concerns about the technical...
متن کاملThe influence of the individual surgeon and of the type of vagotomy upon the insulin test after vagotomy.
Six hundred and seventy-six insulin tests performed in the early postoperative period after vagotomy and drainage for duodenal ulcer were analysed by the criteria of Hollander. Consultants had done 364 vagotomies, of which 17.6% were shown to be incomplete. Registrars and senior registrars had done 312, of which 12.2% were incomplete. Thus, consultants may not be significantly better, on averag...
