Background:
A technique for standard laparoscopic BPD was developed.
Methods:
Standard laparoscopic BPD was performed in 26 morbidly obese patients with mean BMI 43. Details of the technique, using 6 trocars, and instrumentation are described. Intestinal limb lengths were measured fully stretched, and the gastric remnant volume was also measured. Both enteroenteral and gastrointestinal anastomoses were fashioned with a side-to-side technique using the endoGIA, the conjoined defect being closed with a manual running seromuscular suture.
Results:
6 and 12 month weight loss results were similar to those obtained in open BPD.
Conclusion:
Laparoscopic standard BPD is a feasible alternative to the open operative procedure, the major advantage being the likely near total avoidance of wound hernia.
