Abstract
Conclusions
The sites of pain following faradic stimulation of the common duct are not restricted to the anterior abdominal wall as found following electrical excitation of the stomach and duodenum. 2 The location of the pain coincided more closely with the level of the electrode in relation to the cerebro-spinal segment involved. Pain was referred to the back in those who described such radiation preoperatively. The epigastric distress at times seemed to coincide with peristaltic contractions of the pylorus.
