About Duodenal Switch Surgery:
As we all know the Gastric Sleeves procedure is the restrictive first stage of the Duodenal Switch Procedure and having a proper gastric sleeve done is very important to have a successful weight loss with duodenal switch surgery.
First stage surgery (VSG), Approximately 85% of the stomach is removed along the greater curvature, also called a sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). The remaining stomach has a banana shaped and about 3 - 5 oz in size which restricts the amount of food you can eat. The pylorus continues to control the stomach emptying into the small intestine; as a result patients do not experience the "dumping syndrome". The upper portion of the duodenum remains in use; food digests to an absorbable consistency in the stomach before moving into the small intestine. This allows for better absorption of nutrients when compared to gastric bypass surgery.
A great benefit of removing a portion of the stomach is that it also reduces the amount of ghrelin, Ghrelin is the "hunger hormone" and by reducing the amount of the ghrelin produced the hunger is suppressed.
The malabsorptive is the second stage of the Duodenal Switch procedure. The intestines are switch so that food from the stomach and the digestive juices path are separated so that they don't mix until they meet up towards the end of the small intestine.
The alimentary limb carries the food.
The biliopancreatic limb carries the bile and digestive juices.
The common channel, also known as the common tract or common limb, is the point from where the alimentary and biliopancreatic limbs meet in the small intestine to where they move into the large intestine. The common channel is where a duodenal switch patient's food, bile and digestive juices mix and nutrients are absorbed. Since the common channel makes up such a small part of the small intestine dietary starches, fats and complex carbohydrates are not fully absorbed.
Dr. Alberto Aceves utilizes the HESS method , what is the HESS method?
Dr. Hess calculated the length of the alimentary limb by multiplying the total small bowel length by 40%. The remaining 60% of intestine carries the digestive juices through the biliopancreatic limb. The length of the common channel is approximately 10% of the total length of the small bowel. "Hess Method" refers to following Dr. Hess's calculation for determining the limb lengths and common channel length but often other factors are taken into consideration; like the patient's age, weight, BMI and goals. Each patient has a different length of common channel and alimentary loop designed to achieve the best results.
