A schematic of the human gastrointestinal tract showing biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS). In this bariatric and gastrointestinal surgery procedure, a sleeve gastrectomy reduces stomach volume, the proximal duodenum is transected and anastomosed to distal ileum, and a second enteroenterostomy creates a short common channel, bypassing most jejunum. The illustration depicts organs within the digestive system - stomach, duodenum, small intestine, colon, gallbladder, and liver silhouette - located in the upper abdomen of Homo sapiens. Functionally, the reconstruction promotes weight loss via restriction and malabsorption, altering nutrient absorption and enterohepatic physiology.
