title: [The surgical therapy of morbid obesity: our experience].
abstract: The authors report their experience of two years in the surgical management of morbid obesity. The efficacy of the biliopancreatic diversion, method created by Nicola Scopinaro, is underlined. Sixteen patients affected by morbid obesity were treated with this method. Results obtained are comparable to those reported in literature; therefore the authors have been induced to continue in this direction.
