Objective: To prospectively evaluate the results of laparoscopic ileal interposition (II) with diverted sleeve gastrectomy (DSG) for control of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and related metabolic abnormalities.Methods: All patients underwent II +DSG. They had T2DM ≥5 years with poor glycemic control despite adequate dosage of oral hypoglycemic agents (OHAs) and/ or insulin. The primary outcome was remission of diabetes (HbA1c <6.5% without OH...

Introduction: Recent reports suggest that bariatric procedures are effective for control or cure of type 2 diabetes. We plan to study the efficacy of a novel surgical procedure on glycemic control and other constituents of metabolic syndrome in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods: In this ongoing study, five patients underwent laparoscopic procedure of ileal switch (transposition of a segment of ileum into proximal jejunum) coupled with sleeve gastrectomy. ...
