IBD Unit — Centro Malattie Retto-Intestinali
The IBD Unit is the inflammatory bowel disease section of the hospital's Centro Malattie Retto-Intestinali, a simple operating unit attached to general surgery and gastroenterology. A team of gastroenterologists, endoscopists, radiologists, pathologists and surgeons treats Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, with hepatologists, rheumatologists, dermatologists and ophthalmologists for disease beyond the gut. Treatment runs from mesalazine, steroids and immunosuppressants to new-generation biologic drugs, with surgery done in close collaboration with the general surgery ward.

- A dietitian and a gastroenterologist who work on the nutritional side of IBD
- Specialist nurses for stoma care after surgery
