Proximal duodenal–ileal end-to-side bypass with sleeve gastrectomy is a new bariatric technique based on the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch in which after the sleeve gastrectomy, the duodenum is anastomosed to the ileum in a Billroth-II fashion. A 200-cm common channel-alimentary limb is devised. Anticipating an appropriate weight loss, at least similar to that obtained after gastric bypass, theoretical benefits for operated patients are a shorter operative time, the performance of only one anastomosis, and no mesentery opening. A prospective trial is now being conducted to find out the results of the procedure and to compare them to those obtained with gastric bypass and standard duodenal switch.
