- Abstract
Graph B Nicola Scopinaro, MD, FACS (Hon) b B 1945-2020 b I met Nicola Scopinaro in 1995 in Todi, a small and enchanting medieval town in Umbria, central Italy, during a hands-on-course on lap band. Nicola founded the International Federation for Surgery of Obesity (IFSO), the preeminent international bariatric surgery society that has united the world to address the epidemic of obesity and related metabolic disorders. Although he was somewhat skeptical regarding the possibility of performing complex gastrointestinal operations with small incisions and laparoscopes, Nicola accepted my proposal to organize the First International Symposium of Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery with IFSO endorsement.
