Type 2 Diabetes: An operable Intestinal Type 2 Diabetes: An operable Intestinal Disease?Disease?
• Why operate? Evidences in the obese population:
• Dr Pories already showed everything!
• Evidences of resolution without direct relation to weight loss in some bariatric operations (Laferrere,2008;Lee,2008;Patou 2008)
Previous speakers did the job!!

Ileal interposition- De Paula, 2008
• Conclusions: Laparoscopic II-SG and II-DSG seem to be promising procedures for the control of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Excluding the duodenum may improve results. A longer follow-up period is needed.

Ileal Interposition- De Paula
• It’s effective, although complex a procedure :
• ~ 10% of pts with BMI 20-22 were operated(some LADA included, probably)
• 3.5% mortality
• Revisions for intestinal obstruction
• 6% major complications ( leaks and important intracavitary bleeding)
• malnutrition (my experience in revising Il Int)- sleeve too tight?; interposed ileum problems?

Moving Forward• Increased the biliary limb lenght
Data suggests that altered bile acid levels and composition may contribute to improved glucose and lipid metabolism in patients who have had GB with longer biliary limbs.

Is there weight loss relation to T2DM resolution?
• Although there is some weight loss, there is no direct cause-effect relation !
Why the more WL, worst outcome?Can anybody tell me why?

Short DS and low BMI T2DMPredictors of Success(A1c<7)
• There is NO significance, comparing preop to 3,6, 9 & 12 mo ( **p<0.05)
• Gender
• Time of Hx of T2DM ( 2- 20 years)
• Previous use of insulin
• Weight loss
• Homa IR decrease
• Homa B increase
• Preop fasting and stimulated C peptide
• ** p value of Chi-Square test, Exact Fisher test or Mann-Whitney test
Delta WC x Success
• If pts lost > 7% of WC @ 6 mo they tend to succeed (P=0,05, Non parametric Mann-Whitney test)
GI Surgery for T2DM
• Sleeved DJB /Short DS is more effective that “Classic DJB”
• The only predictor is the loss of more than 7% of WC until the 6th month
• T2DM history and previous use of insulin(after proper screening)has no effect on success
• No straight relation between WL and success
• Why the more WL, less chance for success???? Change of paradigm !

T2DM surgery in lower BMIs
• BMI 30-35, growing support for surgery in uncontrolled T2DM patients.
• RYGB and BPD seems to have a good role

T2DM surgery in lower BMIs
• BMIs below 30 : “Different” patient• Ileal interposition may be a good option, but
carries a high mortality and morbidity rates, as is a complex procedure in a complex patient
• In De Paula’s randomized trial between II+SG versus II+SG+duodenal diversion,bypassing the duodenum improves results!!
• Sleeved duodenal exclusion, seems so far a good procedure, BUT WE NEED MORE DATA!!
T2DM surgery in lower BMIs
• Although we believe that we have several SILENT EVIDENCES, that point us that surgery may benefit T2DM in lower BMIs, we need to start speaking NATIVE CONTEMPORARY DIABETOLESE!
RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS!!!
