  • Title: How to Switch to the Switch: Implementation of Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch into Practice.
    Author: Halawani HM, Antanavicius G, Bonanni F.
    Journal: Obes Surg; 2017 Sep; 27(9):2506-2509. PubMed ID: 28688102.
    Abstract:
    The biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), a modification of the classic Scopinaro procedure, carries the highest rate of success in terms of weight loss, comorbid resolution, and maintenance of weight loss. The substantial challenges, technical complexity, and expected roadblocks of adding BPD/DS option to the bariatric surgeon's resources are reflected in the number of BPD/DS procedure performed in the USA, being less than 1% of all bariatric surgeries. Adjustments to the length of the common channel and the size of the vertical sleeve would increase the pool of candidates for BPD/DS and offer comprehensive management of obesity and metabolic comorbidities. Proper educational programs and multiple proctoring to bariatric surgeons aid to implement BPD/DS to their practice.
