Abstract

In this study of pattern of gastric innervation observed in 55 specimens shows that there is 1. Variation in the distribution of gastric branches over the cardiac end of the stomach. 2. Plexus formation in the cardiac end of the stomach and in the body of the stomach. 3. Branches arising from the anterior nerve of Latarjet to the body of the stomach varies in number. So there is a considerable variation in the distribution of gastric branches, branches arising from anterior nerve of Latarjet and plexus formation. The observations in the previous studies also shows variation in the distribution of branches and plexus formation over the anterior surface of the stomach. But there is a fairly constant finding of termination of anterior nerve of Latarjet at the level of incisura angularis in this study. The observations of the present study will be helpful for the surgeons to perform a successful proximal gastric vagotomy. The surgeon can think of possible variations in the distribution of branches over the anterior surface of the stomach especially over the body of the stomach where the acid producing cells are abundant.
