Shirley Oaks Hospital provides specialised Proctectomy with a focus on precise rectal resection, appropriate cancer control, preservation of bowel and sphincter function where possible, and individualized postoperative management. Established in 1986, the accredited hospital is located in London, United Kingdom and operates beds, with modern colorectal surgery, pelvic imaging, oncology, laparoscopic, robotic, and stoma-care infrastructure.

Proctectomy can provide an important surgical treatment option for appropriately selected patients with rectal cancer and other localized or complex rectal disorders. Treatment planning considers the underlying diagnosis, location and stage of disease, involvement of surrounding tissues, sphincter function, bowel health, previous procedures, nutritional status, and overall health. For rectal cancer, multidisciplinary assessment may determine whether chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or other treatments are appropriate before or after surgery.
