Core Tip
Core tip: Duodenum exclusion could suggest the potential superiority of mini-gastric bypass over sleeve gastrectomy to obtain diabetes remission. This mechanism could suggest the potential superiority of mini-gastric bypass over sleeve gastrectomy to obtain diabetes remission. Thus, although the gold standard for diabetes remission is still the Roux-en-y gastric by pass, being similar mechanisms of diabetes remission involved and being easier to be performed, the mini-gastric by pass could become a valuable alternative.
