Abstract:
The duodenal switch operation is a new form of pancreaticobiliary diversion with superior physiologic consequences compared with the Roux-en-Y procedure. The new technique has been extensively tested in the laboratory and found to be nonulcerogenic and to be less disruptive of foregut physiology than the Roux-en-Y procedure. The duodenal switch has been used in more than 40 patients with confirmed duodenogastric reflux and has proved to be well tolerated and successful in long-term follow-up.
