Long-term results of conversion of Roux-en-Y to biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch

CONCLUSION: Despite its complexity, conversion of RYGB to BPD-DS can be performed in 1 stage, although the use of an unconventional technique could not reduce the high complication rate. BPD-DS remains an efficient procedure after RYGB in selected patients, comparable to distalization of RYGB, which can be less risky.PMID:38342720 | DOI:10.1016/j.soard.2023.12.019
