At Sri Ramachandra Medical Centre, Proctectomy is performed using specialized colorectal surgical techniques and comprehensive diagnostic and cancer-staging assessment. Established in 1985, this JCI, NABH accredited hospital in Chennai, India has 1800 beds and offers advanced colorectal surgery, minimally invasive procedures, gastroenterology, and surgical oncology services.

Proctectomy may be considered for selected patients with rectal cancer and other serious conditions requiring removal of diseased rectal tissue. Before surgery, investigations such as colonoscopy, pelvic MRI, CT imaging, and laboratory testing may be performed to determine the location and extent of disease. During the procedure, the affected rectal tissue is removed, with the surgical approach and extent of resection determined by the underlying condition and the patient's anatomy.
