Abstract
This chapter describes the pathophysiology, surgical technique, complications, and results of biliopancreatic diversion described by Professor Nicola Scopinaro. Its technical variants are also described in this chapter. The indications for this operation, the physiological role of pouch size, the bowel limb lengths in determining weight loss and its maintenance, and the resolution of comorbidities are detailed. The early surgical complications as well as nutritional sequelae of the operation are also discussed.
