Adaptational and compensatory changes in neurovascular structures of the small gut's myenteric plexus following resection of a strangulated loop of the gut were studied in 21 cats. It was found, in particular, that whereas hyperplastic processes predominated in the wall of the remaining small gut at 1 month postresection, reparative processes had largely ceased and the neural structures under study had undergone partial atrophy at 3-6 months.
