Duodenal Switch Combined with Systematic Post-operative Supplementation and Regular Patient Follow-up Results in Good Nutritional Outcomes.

Introduction: The duodenal switch is the most effective bariatric surgical procedure. Due to technical demands of the surgery and concerns regarding high rates of post-operative nutritional sequelae, many surgeons remain hesitant to adopt this technique.

Methods: Sixty-five patients undergoing duodenal switch surgery at our hospital between 2008 and 2015 were followed up for 5 years.

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy Versus Banded Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass for Diabetes and Obesity: a Prospective Randomised Double-Blind Trial.

Background: There are very few randomised, blinded trials comparing laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) versus laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) in achieving remission of type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly silastic ring (SR)-LRYGB. We compared the effectiveness of (LSG) versus SR-LRYGB among patients with T2D and morbid obesity.

Methods: Prospective, randomised, parallel, 2-arm, blinded clinical trial conducted in a single Auckland (New Zealand) centre.

Sleeve gastrectomy versus Roux-en-Y gastric bypass for type 2 diabetes and morbid obesity: double-blind randomised clinical trial protocol.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) in association with obesity is an increasing disease burden. Bariatric surgery is the only effective therapy for achieving remission of T2D among those with morbid obesity. It is unclear which of the two most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery, laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB), is most effective for obese patients with T2D.
