Fourteen @entity1 with severe @entity28 resistant to previous dietetic measures underwent intestinal bypass using Scott's method. Weight loss ranged from 1-2 kg to 50 kg (mean = 25 kg) but weas unpredictable and varied from @entity1 to @entity1 ; most remained @entity28 . The other results of the operation were similar to those already reported. There was a decrease in total plasma @entity165 , while HDL @entity165 remained normal. Calcaemia was in the lower range of normal values; one @entity1 developed severe hypokaliaemia (1.8 mEq); low blood @entity1760 levels and steatorrhoea were common. @entity1575 was observed in one @entity1 and probably in another. Five @entity1 were re-operated upon for incisional @entity547 or @entity432 . Other complications reported in the literature ( @entity1151 , @entity4841 , @entity1290 and @entity5990 ) did not occur in this series. Because of these complications we decided to stop using intestinal bypass for the treatment of severe @entity28 . However, in view of the potential dangers of severe @entity28 we feel that other surgical techniques, such as Mason's gastric bypass, should be considered in some @entity1 .
