Introduction Bariatric surgery is increasingly employed to address the global burden of morbid obesity, with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) representing the predominant procedure. However, some patients, particularly those with extreme obesity (BMI >50 kg/m²), may experience unsatisfactory weight-related outcomes following RYGB. While biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) offers superior weight reduction for this population, its complexity and associated risks limit its widespread use.

Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare and heterogeneous disease that often requires multimodal treatment. The role of liver transplantation in these tumors has been controversial due to historically poor prognosis and higher recurrence rates. However, in recent years, scientific evidence has challenged this notion.

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.

Background: While OAGB shows promise in the short to medium term, its long-term durability, weight trends, blood levels of metabolic factors and nutrients, and potential complications require further exploration through larger, longer-term studies. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence by reporting on the long-term outcomes of patients with severe obesity who underwent OAGB.

Methods And Patients: A retrospective study on prospectively collected data was conducted on a sample of 1917 patients who underwent OAGB between 2010 and 2019 and had a BMI ≥ 35 kg/m.
