B6 Bariatric Times • November 2016 • Supplement B FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONSENSUS CONFERENCE ON DUODENAL SWITCH November 2016 • Supplement B • Bariatric Times I n 1993 Picard Marceau's group published their initial paper titled, "Biliopancreatic diversion with a new type of gastrectomy." 1 Five years later Doug Hess published his first paper on eight- year follow up on patients operated on in Bowling Green, Ohio. 2 Since then, there have been several articles showing the superiority of the duodenal switch (DS)in providing superior weight loss compared with gastric bypass, especially in patients with super- obesity (body mass index [BMI] >50 kg/m 2 ). 3 This has significant pertinence in the United States where the median BMI in many practices is now in the high 40s. 4 The question that then begs an answer is as follows: "If this surgery is so effective at promoting long- term sustained weight loss, particularly in the heavier patient cohort, why does it represent such a small number of the total weight loss procedures done in the US?" (Table 1). 5 The low numbers of biliopancreatic diversion (BPD)/DS may be misleading as some of the revisions and "other" operations may be modifications of this operation (which still does not have a laparoscopic CPT code). It is obvious that there is a perception that the DS operation creates such a significant malabsorption that not only can quality of life be affected • Choosing the right patient is complicated and post-surgical compliance is difficult to asses preoperatively • Consider staging patients for compliance • There are significant postoperative nutrition issues that may increase in consequence over time • Consider concomitant cholecystectomy KEY POINTS Long-term Results of Biliopancreatic Diversion/Duodenal Switch in the United States Alfons Pomp, MD, FACS, FRCSC Bariatric Times. 2016;13(11 Suppl B):B6–B9.
