The UCP Naples -
“Fatebenefratelli” is a multi-specialist functional unit that is intensively
dedicated to the treatment of diseases of the colon, rectum, anus, and pelvis.
It serves as a highly specialized reference point in the region for the
diagnosis and treatment of these conditions. Located on the Posillipo hill,
patients can undergo all specialist tests for the diagnosis of both functional
and organic disorders of interest in colon-proctology and uro-gynecology.
Routine diagnostic and operational endoscopic exams are performed (such as
rectoscopy, colonoscopy, cystoscopy, colposcopy, hysteroscopy), computerized 3D
transanal ultrasound, anorectal manometry, entero-colpo-cine-defecography,
uroflowmetry, evaluation of intestinal transit times, contrast enemas,
abdominal-pelvic CT scans, etc.
Clinical activity is complemented
by an effective therapeutic program with operating rooms equipped with
innovative specialized technical instruments. Each year, over 500 specialized
colon-proctological surgical procedures are performed (for the treatment of
various conditions such as hemorrhoids, fissures, fistulas, abscesses,
colorectal carcinoma, rectal prolapse, fecal incontinence) as well as an equal
number of uro-gynecological procedures (urinary incontinence, cystocele,
uterine prolapse, uterine carcinoma).

studying innovative surgical techniques and developing guidelines and
therapeutic protocols to improve patients' quality of life. Numerous
