Tinctorial Changes in Neurons of Thoracic Spinal Ganglia After Experimental Cholecystectomy

Abstract

 The questions of the innervation connections of neurons in the
spinal ganglia with internal organs under normal conditions, in experiments, in
clinical practice, and across age groups are the subject of study by morphologists
in the current century. The involvement of these neurons in the afferent innervation
of the gallbladder and other gastrointestinal organs has been studied. Their
connections with other systems of the body have also been established.
Considering that the number of diseases of the biliary system is increasing
worldwide, with pain and its irradiation being one of the leading symptoms, it
becomes clear why researchers are interested in studying this issue. According to
some studies, surgical interventions related to diseases of the biliary system rank
second in frequency after appendectomy.
However, the retrograde response of afferent system neurons, particularly
those in the spinal ganglia, to gallbladder removal remains poorly understood.
This situation, to some extent, justifies the relevance of our research.
