A mechanotron 6MX1C was used to study lymphodynamic indices of the dog popliteal lymph nodes after cutting the ischiatic and femoral nerves in the left limb at 1 week, 3 and 5 months. The lymph nodes of the contralateral limb and the lymph nodes from intact dogs were used as controls. It has been demonstrated that denervation causes acceleration of the periods of the filling and emptying of the lymph nodes both in the denervated and contralateral limbs as compared with the initial period. The amplitude of fluctuations under maximal filling of the lymph nodes decreases significantly at the long-term postoperative periods. The lymphodynamic changes seem to be determined by pathomorphological alterations in lymph node tissues.

D012584	Sciatic Nerve	A nerve which originates in the lumbar and sacral spinal cord (L4 to S3) and supplies motor and sensory innervation to the lower extremity. The sciatic nerve, which is the main continuation of the sacral plexus, is the largest nerve in the body. It has two major branches, the TIBIAL NERVE and the PERONEAL NERVE.
