A Clinical and Nutritional Comparison of Biliopancreatic Diversion With and Without Duodenal Switch

摘要

Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) was performed in 73 patients without duodenal switch (DS) and 61 patients with duodenal switch (BPDDS). Excess weight loss was 70% after BPD and BPDDS, and there were no significant differences in gastrointestinal symptoms, meal size, or nutritional parameters. Duodenal switch does not improve weight loss or lessen the gastrointestinal or nutritional side effects of BPD.
