Transforming a Biliopancreatic Derivation in an Ileal Interposition with a Single Anastomosis

Obes Surg. 2015 Aug;25(8):1547-9. doi: 10.1007/s11695-015-1768-6.

Abstract

The biliopancreatic derivation (BPD) is the most powerful bariatric procedure. However, it never became a very popular procedure, except for Italy, because of the high rate of nutritional problems, intense flatulence, and diarrhea. Here, we describe an extremely simple way (just one anastomosis) to revise the BPD, transforming it into an ileal interposition with duodenal exclusion, solving these described problems.
