IN THE treatment of duodenal ulcer by resection of the vagus nerve supply to the stomach, knowledge of the anatomy of the vagus nerves is of fundamental importance. The purpose of this paper is to present the results of a study of these nerves carried out in the Department of Anatomy of the University of Michigan between October 1946 and April 1947 and to suggest a new technic of transabdominal vagus resection based on this study. The vagus nerves have been described by Swan, 1 Bourgery, 2 Kollman, 3 Perman, 4 Latarjet, 5 McCrea, 6 Mitchell 7 and recently by Miller and Davis, 8 Bradley, Small, Wilson and Walters, 9 Chamberlin and Winship 10 and by Dragstedt, Fournier, Woodward, Tovee and Harper. 11 In a preliminary report of this anatomic study 12 the literature on the subject was summarized and as a complete report containing this summary will be published
