Biliopancreatic Diversion cost in Bangalore
What is Biliopancreatic Diversion ?
Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) reduces the size of the stomach (similar to gastric bypass surgery), but it also reduces the amount of food that is absorbed inside the intestine (malabsorption). By reducing the size of the stomach and enabling food to bypass a portion of the small intestine, biliopancreatic diversion alters the usual digestive process, allowing patients to absorb less calories. The stomach is completely eliminated, resulting in a reduced stomach pouch. The pouch is subsequently attached to the distal section of the small intestine. This type of surgery, like gastric bypass surgery, has the potential to cause nutritional deficits.
