Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 This talk is scaring me. I am trying to do research on the Scopinaro without much success. My surgeon said the px. would be the gastric sleeve part of the procedure, then a pyoloroplasty instead of the DS. I thought that the Scop and the BPD were the same thing. With what I was told, the pyelorus is still there, but the nerves have been cut so it remains wide open. Are these two different pxs? If the pt. has a sleeve gastrectomy and the pyelorus is not dissected free from the stomach, would one be more prone to the pancreatic cancer?
