A surgical model of short bowel syndrome induces a long-lasting increase in pancreatic beta-cell mass [PDF]
, 2015 Several surgical techniques are used nowadays as a severe treatment for obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2. These techniques are aggressive due to drastic changes in the nutrient flow and non-reversible modifications on the digestive tube.
