چکیده
Patients with Down syndrome have a higher prevalence of obesity when compared to the general population. Binge eating in superobesity is an important characteristic that makes treatment more difficult. This is a case report of a laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion with gastric preservation undergone by a morbidly obese woman with Down Syndrome, after extensive evaluation of the patient as well as her parents’ psychological profile. The technique allows better post-operative control of food ingestion, achieving effective weight loss after surgery without major complications.
