Many surgeons have now reported good results with the biliopancreatic bypass with or without a duodenal switch. In the view of the New York Bariatric Surgery Program, however, the negatives of this surgery still outweigh the positives, especially in the long term, so that the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass remains the surgical treatment of choice.
BILIOPANCREATIC DIVERSION: (BPD)
A modern variant of the Jejuno-ileal Bypass (JIB) is BiliopancreaticDiversion,(BPD), a procedure which differs from JIB in that no small intestine is defunctionalized and, consequently, liver problems are much less frequent. This procedure was developed by Professor Nicola Scopinaro, of the University of Genoa, Italy.(Scopinaro, Gianetta et al. 1996)
