Abstract

The causes and effects of gastric secretion are a vivid example of the necessary amalgamation of basic physiological principles and clinical surgery. The voluminous literature produced on these subjects does not exceed the vastness of the horizons yet to be realized. Because of ancient awareness and the passage of two recent generations of intensive research, the knowledge gained has paralleled our technical advances in method. Great progress has consequently been followed by an exponential increase in complexity. The various factors and states affecting gastric acid secretion are numerous. It will be seen that massive small bowel resection may be one of these factors. In order to proceed rationally toward a further understanding of the relationship of massive small bowel resection to gastric secretion, the basic problems of gastric physiology and massive small bowel resection will first be discussed. After this foundation is established, the effect of 75 per cent distal small bowel resection on Heidenhain pouch dogs will be examined.
