In the Duodenal Switch procedure (also know as biliopancreatic diversion with the duodenal-switch, or BPD/DS), the stomach is reshaped and somewhat reduced in size, creating a sleeve-like shape. Approximately half of the small intestine is bypassed, and the stomach is reconnected to the shortened small intestine. This forms a short channel in which food and digestive juices are mixed. In some patients, the duodenal switch results in greater excess weight loss than in the more commonly performed Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass.

In this "minimally edited" DVD, Michel Gagner, MD demonstrates the Duodenal Switch procedure.
