Summary The infradiaphragmatic section of vagi nerves at the level of the diaphragm crura causes, on the third day after surgery, a reduction of the mitotic activity in the crypts of the intestinal epithelium of the rat. Moreover there is a drastic reduction in number of the goblet cells that remain concentrated at the lower third of the villi. After the third day after vagotomy there is a tendency to normality. Sympathectomy did not affect significantly the intestinal epithelium of the rat. When both surgeries were performed together, there was no additive effect.
