Since 1988, there has been an interdisciplinary center for obesity treatment in Stradella's Hospital's Surgery Department,. Patients are followed by a group of surgeons, anesthetists and dietitians, who choose the proper treatment for the patient. The surgical treatments are two: (1) vertical banded gastroplasty; and (2) a new technique consisting of biliopancreatic diversion plus a vertical banded gastroplasty with stomach ad hoc. The authors explain the new surgical procedure showing positive results, without giving final conclusions because of the small number of patients treated.
