Abstract
The ileal food diversion is a non-restrictive single-anastomosis gastric bypass (a modification of the mini-gasrtric bypass) that combines a large gastric pouch with a distal bypass. It diverts food in the distal small bowel, inducing reduced absorption of nutrients and effectively treating morbid obesity and metabolic syndrome.
This safe and fast procedure can be performed by a single surgeon with a reduced port approach, and is a useful option in complex cases, such as previous failed restrictive procedures.
The rationale, technical aspects and encouraging results from our 6-year experience of >200 procedures is described.
