Adaptive reaction of the lymphatic system of the wall of the small intestine after gastric resection

The morphology of intestinal lymph nodes was studied in 16 experimental dogs after resection of 2/3 of the stomach. The study was conducted on 3,7,15,30,45,60,90,180 and 360 days after gastric resection. The experimental examination showed that the diameter of the lymphatic capillaries and vessels expand, the formation of various shapes and sizes of outgrowth was observed on the walls of the capillaries, as well as new anastomoses. Thus, changes in the intestinal lymphatic system, their recovery and the reaction of compensatory adaptation depend on the methods of gastric resection, which occurs after an acute injury to the main neurovascular systems of the stomach.
