RESUMO
Transit bipartition (TB) emerges as a bariatric surgery alternative to Duodenal Switch (DS), emphasizing complete intestinal access and reduced malabsorption. By directly stimulating the distal ileum, TB promotes weight loss while preserving endoscopic duodenal access. This technique enhances anorexigenic hormones, aiding in satiety and weight loss, with lower malnutrition risks than DS. TB shows favorable short-term outcomes in weight management and comorbidity reduction, serving as a simpler, less malabsorptive option than DS. Nonetheless, long-term studies are essential for comprehensive efficacy assessment.

PURPOSE: With the growing interest in artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medicine, this study explores ChatGPT's potential to influence surgical technique selection in metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), contrasting AI recommendations with established clinical guidelines and expert consensus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Conducting a single-center retrospective analysis, the study involved 161 patients who underwent MBS between January 2022 and December 2023. ChatGPT4 was used to analyze patient data, including demographics, pathological history, and BMI, to recommend the most suitable surgical technique. These AI recommendations were then compared with the hospital's algorithm-based decisions. RESULTS: ChatGPT recommended Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in over half of the cases. However, a significant difference was observed between AI suggestions and actual surgical techniques applied, with only a 34.16% match rate. Further analysis revealed any significant correlation between ChatGPT recommendations and the established surgical algorithm. CONCLUSION: Despite ChatGPT's ability to process and analyze large datasets, its recommendations for MBS techniques do not align closely with those determined by expert surgical teams using a high success rate algorithm. Consequently, the study concludes that ChatGPT4 should not replace expert consultation in selecting MBS techniques.
