Duodenal switch with omentopexy and feeding jejunostomy--a safe and effective revisional operation for failed previous weight loss surgery.

Background: As the number of weight loss operations has increased, the number of patients who have failed to maintain sufficient weight loss has also increased, providing a management challenge to the bariatric surgeon. Conversion to a duodenal switch with omentopexy and feeding jejunostomy was performed for these patients.

Methods: Between September 2006 and January 2010, 41 revisional operations were performed at 1 institution and by 1 operating surgeon.
