ABSTRACT
Obesity, a pathology with a multifactorial etiopathogenesis currently has an incidence of around 6% in the adult population in Italy. Considering that this disease provokes a statistically significant reduction of life expectancy, there is an evidence need to create structures which can deal with this problem. For this purpose, the Centre for the prevention and cure of obesity was set up by the Department of Surgery and Anatomy at the University of Palermo in 1990. It makes use of the specialist skills of experts in internal medicine, dieticians, cardiologists, psychologists and surgeons. In particular the authors give a detailed description of the diagnostic iter used and the methods of follow-up adopted for patients undergoing biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) surgery. In conclusion, the authors emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary approach to this pathology since this is the only way of minimizing complications arising during BPD surgery and obtaining the best results.
