[Biliopancreatic diversion and simultaneous resection of a giant ulcerated fatty mass in a patient with body mass index: 75].

Bariatric Surgery is currently the best treatment option for patients with Morbid Obesity and a Body Mass Index ≥ 40 kg/m2. Despite its high rate of postoperative and nutritional complications, biliopancreatic diversion (Scopinaro s procedure) has shown best results in terms of excess weight loss and improving obesity-associated diseases.

Clipping for endoscopic perforations: initial success but late complication requiring surgery.

Introduction: This response discusses the article by Kim and colleagues entitled "endoscopic clip closure versus surgery for the treatment of iatrogenic colon perforations developed during diagnostic colonoscopy: a review of 115,285 patients". Iatrogenic colonoscopic perforation, although uncommon, implies serious management problems for endoscopists and surgeons. Nonoperative treatment currently is recommended under certain conditions, and endoscopic clips can primarily close iatrogenic perforations, helping to avoid surgery.
