title: Laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
abstract: The biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch combines a sleeve gastrectomy with a duodenoileal switch to achieve maximum weight loss. Consistent excess weight loss between 70% to 80% is achieved with acceptable decreased long-term nutritional complications. With a higher entry weight, the super obese patient (body mass index [BMI] >50 kg/m(2)) benefits the greatest from a procedure that produces a higher mean excess weight loss. The laparoscopic approach to this procedure has successfully created a surgical technique with optimum benefit and minimal morbidity, especially in the super obese patient.
