Biliopancreatic diversion: an effective path to a healthy weight
Biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) is one of the most effective procedures in modern bariatric surgery, designed to combat severe forms of obesity. This operation promotes significant weight loss and improves metabolic processes, positively affecting overall health.
Understanding biliopancreatic diversion
BPD combines two mechanisms of action:
- Restriction: reducing the stomach's volume by removing part of it, which decreases the amount of food consumed and accelerates the feeling of fullness.
- Malabsorption: rerouting the digestive tract so that food bypasses most of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients.
As a result, patients gain a powerful tool to fight excess weight and the opportunity to normalize the function of the endocrine system.
Who is this procedure suitable for
BPD is recommended for patients with a body mass index (BMI) over 50, as well as those who have serious comorbidities such as:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Arterial hypertension
- Sleep apnea syndrome
- Dyslipidemia
It is important to note that the decision to undergo surgery is made jointly with a physician after a thorough examination and assessment of all risks and benefits.
Modern advances in bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery is constantly evolving, and today BPD is performed using advanced technologies:
- Laparoscopic methods: allow the operation to be performed through small incisions, reducing recovery time and minimizing the risk of complications.
- Robotic surgery: provides high precision and control during the procedure.
- Personalized planning: using 3D modeling helps the surgeon precisely plan the operation, taking into account the patient's anatomical features.
Advantages of biliopancreatic diversion
- Significant weight loss: patients lose up to 70% of excess body weight in the first two years after surgery.
- Remission of comorbidities: over 80% of patients note improvement or complete disappearance of symptoms of type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
- Long-term results: studies show the sustainability of achieved effects for 10 years or more.
- Improved quality of life: increased physical activity, better mood, and self-esteem.
