Duodenal SwitchDuodenal switch, also known as duodenal switch with duodenal switch, is a type of bariatric surgery that is used to treat severe obesity. The procedure involves two main components: a sleeve gastrectomy, which reduces the size of the stomach, and a duodenal switch, which reroutes the small intestine to limit the absorption of calories and nutrients.
The operation of a duodenal switch involves making several incisions in the abdomen to access the stomach and small intestine. The surgeon will then remove a portion of the stomach, leaving a narrow sleeve-like structure, and reroute the small intestine to bypass the majority of the stomach and the first portion of the small intestine. This results in decreased calorie and nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss.
Duodenal switch is considered a more invasive procedure compared to other forms of bariatric surgery, and is typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 50 or higher, or for those who have not had success with other forms of weight loss. The procedure typically results in greater weight loss compared to other bariatric surgery options, but also has a higher risk of complications, including malnutrition and diarrhea. Before undergoing duodenal switch, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a bariatric surgeon to determine if the procedure is appropriate for you.
