Guest guest Posted April 29, 2001 Report Share Posted April 29, 2001 , I have a friend who had the BPD/distal .....she had her stomach removed and RNY pouch created for her. How does this fit in with the DS and distal explanation? If its the BPD/distal wouldnt it be pretty close to what we have?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2001 Report Share Posted April 30, 2001 if you go look at these links you will find that the RNY and the BPD/DS arrange the intestines in essentially the same way. The only difference I can see is the stomach and duodenum are left intact with the jejunum and the jejunum is divided in half and one half is grafted to the pouch and the other half is connected before the ileum forming a common channel. In the distal they connect the ileum to the pouch and bringing the jejunum down to form a common channel. The intestine arrangement is pretty much the same the remaining stomach and duodenum (connected to the bile ducts from the liver) drains bile and acid down into the common channel. In a regular RNY it drains into the jejunum and in the distal it drains into the ileum. Unfortunately they do not show a distal RNY, I am just using research information that a distal RNY has 100 (or less) common channel Check out the links and you will see what I mean: AOL users, <ahref="http://www.med.nyu.edu/bariatric/operations/RYGBflash.html"> RNY</a> http://www.med.nyu.edu/bariatric/operations/RYGBflash.html AOL users, <ahref="http://www.med.nyu.edu/bariatric/operations/BPDflash.html"> BPD/DS</a>http://www.med.nyu.edu/bariatric/operations/BPDflash.html A BPD and a Distal RNY are close cousins.
