Core Tip
Core Tip: This editorial examines jejunoileal side-to-side anastomosis as a novel surgical approach for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It highlights the role of this surgical approach in modulating glucagon-like peptide-1, improving β-cell function, and preserving gastric anatomy, thereby offering a promising alternative for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and a relatively high body mass index.
