Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Versus Laparoscopic Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD)- Duodenal Switch for Superobesity

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to compare the outcome in a broad perspective after

of superobesity (body mass index [BMI] > 50 kg/m2).

Official titleLaparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass vs. Laparoscopic BPD-Duodenal Switch for Superobesity (BMI > 50 kg/m2)- A Randomized Clinical Trial
Further study detailsSurgery is the only treatment of morbid obesity that has proven to result in efficient and
long lasting weight loss. There are few studies comparing different surgical techniques,
especially in a randomized setting.

Superobesity (BMI > 50 kg/m2) demands an efficient surgical approach to result in satisfying
weight loss. Laparoscopic techniques have been established to perform Roux-en-Y Gastric
bypass and Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch which both are good options for
treating superobesity.

This study aims to compare the outcome after surgery in a broad perspective (weight loss,
metabolic normalization, gastro-intestinal side effects, eating patterns, body composition,
health economics). Patients will be randomized to either surgical procedure and will be
followed for five years.
