Official title
The Effect of Loop Duodenal Switch Surgery in Morbidly Obese Patients on Weight Loss at One Year
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The loop duodenal switch (L-DS) is a single-anastomosis biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) procedure. The original BPD-DS has two-anastomosis and is an accepted and approved bariatric procedure by the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. Preliminary data from Sanchez-Pernaute et al. (2013) indicates that the L-DS procedure is safer and easier to perform as it only requires one anastomosis compared to the BPD-DS, and offers good results for treatment of both morbid obesity and its metabolic comorbidities, including type-2 diabetes mellitus. However, the initial publications of the loop DS still resulted in a small number of patients with total protein malnutrition. For this reason, the investigators will study the loop DS with a modification of the originally published technique with a longer common channel limb (300 cm) to reduce the risk of protein malnutrition For patients with a BMI \>50, many are limited to just a sleeve gastrectomy as other bariatric procedures are technically challenging with increased operative risk. A loop duodenal switch may be a safer operation with improved weight loss for the super-morbidly obese patient.
