Ileal transposition is a surgical procedure which was developed by a Brazilian surgeon, Dr Aureo-de Paula and is expected work towards controlling level of blood sugar in select patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. The surgery helps control the level of blood sugar within six months. The basic philosophy of the procedure is that it increases the secretion of the gastro intestinal hormone, GLP-1 which results in increase secretion of insulin and stimulates of the Beta cells of the pancreas (i.e. the cells that produce insulin).
The increased secretion of the gastrointestinal hormone is attributed to the early contact of undigested food with the transposed ileal segment of the intestine. This simple procedure of transposition has been proven effective as type 2 diabetes treatment strategy. Several American patients are reviewing the options of metabolic surgery abroad, considering the low cost of bariatric surgery and ileal transposition surgery for diabetes type 2 treatment.
Type II Diabetes accounts to 80% to 90% of all cases of diabetes mellitus and is a rapidly growing epidemic across the world. As per the American Diabetics Association, type II occurs when the pancreas fails to produce adequate quantity of insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the blood or the metabolic cells of the body fail to identify insulin and utilize it appropriately.
Though, considerable amount of research is underway to identify the most effective treatment and cure for diabetes, most of the efforts have failed to yield results. Most patients are treated with conventional therapeutic modalities, which are just palliative in controlling diabetes but fail to achieve a complete cure.
However, recent advances in surgical science and treatment have proven that surgery is the best and the most effective for management of diabetes type II, especially among non obese patients. Evidence suggests that ileal transposition surgery changes the patterns of gastro intestinal hormones secretions and clinical evidence has been suggestive of glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients within a few days after the surgery.
In recent years increasing number of physicians and surgeons are considering metabolic surgery as appropriate option for normal weight diabetic individuals. Many surgeons are considering the option of metabolic surgery as the key to manage the twin epidemic of diabetes and obesity.
One of the most essential and crucial part of surgical for management of diabetes, is the appropriate selection of the patient. The patient has to undergo a battery of tests and various investigations to ensure that he/she is fit for the surgery.
Success rate of the ileal transposition for control of type II diabetes
Long term clinical studies and data have suggested that the procedure has been effective in control of blood sugar even after 14 years. The success rate ranges between 80% – 100% depending upon the post surgical care and levels of activity maintained by the patient.
With augmentation of healthcare infrastructure and rapid advancement in the field of medical technology, cost of surgery for diabetes in India is significantly lower than ileal transposition surgery cost in the Untied States. This is attributed to highly skilled and trained medical teams, affordable hospitalization costs in JCI and international accredited hospitals and a reputed team of surgeons with experience of conducting surgery for diabetes in India. With cost of surgical care in India as low as 20% the cost of care in the United States, India is increasing becoming the destination of choice for American patients. With regards metabolic surgery, India has several large medical institutions, which are committed to provide high quality of post operative care for patients undergoing diabetes II surgery in India
