EUS-SWITCHING THE SWITCH ENDOSCOPIC REVERSAL OF A BILIOPANCREATIC DIVERSION

SWITCHING THE SWITCH ENDOSCOPIC REVERSAL OF A BILIOPANCREATIC DIVERSION

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the team discusses the endoscopic reversal of a biliopancreatic diversion, also known as a duodenal switch. They explain that this procedure involves creating a proximal anastomosis between the alimentary and the biliopancreatic limbs, which can help alleviate malnutrition and weight loss caused by altered anatomy. The endoscopic procedure is performed under general anesthesia and involves exploring the anatomy of the patient using endoscopy and fluoroscopy. By placing a lumen-opposing metal stent, they are able to recreate the physiological continuity between the two limbs. The video concludes by stating that this endoscopic approach could be a minimally invasive alternative to surgery, but further studies are needed to confirm its long-term outcomes. No specific credits were given in the video.
