Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS), the most effective bariatric procedure for super-obese patients (BMI >50), combining a sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass. Chinese bariatric centers offer this complex procedure with experienced surgeons for patients requiring maximum weight loss. The single-anastomosis variant (SADI-S) is also available as a simplified alternative with comparable outcomes.
