Weight Loss in France
Duodenal Switch
The Duodenal Switch is a type of bariatric surgery that combines elements of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and the duodenal switch procedure. It involves creating a small stomach pouch, bypassing a portion of the small intestine, and reattaching the intestine further down. This results in malabsorption and restricted food intake, promoting weight loss. The duodenum's role in releasing digestive enzymes and hormones is preserved to help maintain nutritional balance.
