Purpose: The effectiveness of biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS) for weight loss is well established, yet there remains ongoing debate over optimal limb lengths to maximize weight loss without compromising safety. We aimed to evaluate the impact of BPD/DS limb lengths on weight loss outcomes and comorbidity resolution.
Material And Methods: A multicenter review of patients who underwent primary BPD/DS between 2008 and 2022.
Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) and single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S) are associated with superior and sustained weight loss outcomes. Despite their growing popularity, long-term safety profiles, particularly the risk of internal hernia (IH), remain underexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and characteristics of IH following BPD-DS and SADI-S procedures, comparing their clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and outcomes.

- A study surveyed healthcare professionals in Scandinavian ICUs to understand their views on early rehabilitation practices, particularly focusing on how nurses and other staff facilitate functional and cognitive stimulation for patients.
- Results showed that rehabilitation efforts start with ventilator weaning and sedation reduction, followed by physical mobilization, optimizing nutrition, and incorporating cognitive activities while balancing rest to prevent delirium.
- The study concluded that successful rehabilitation is a dynamic process that requires collaboration among healthcare teams, support for the patient's motivation, and family involvement, progressing from passive to active involvement as patients recover.
Background: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) has consistently demonstrated excellent weight loss and comorbidity resolution. However, outcomes vary based on patient's BMI. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileostomy with sleeve (SADI-S) is a novel procedure with promising short-term results.
