Book cover The ASMBS Textbook of Bariatric Surgery

Abstract

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) is a less commonly performed but very effective operation. It is now being performed more frequently than before as a primary option for those patients who need to lose a lot of weight or have severe diabetes or hypercholesterolemia. It is also a good salvage operation for inadequate results after other bariatric operations or for high-risk patients as a staged approach. Minimally invasive techniques for performing the operation are now well described. The BPD/DS is associated with higher technical difficulty and more nutritional deficiencies, but these can be managed by an experienced team.
