Abstract
Background: Studies have shown that rectal cancer patients managed in high-volume centres may have improved outcomes. However, others suggest that individual surgeon caseload, specialisation and experience may be more significant in improving postoperative outcomes in rectal cancer surgery. As a low-volume, single surgeon study, we hypothesise that surgeon experience, rather than high hospital volume alone, may result in optimal surgical outcomes in rectal cancer surgery, in keeping with best international practice.
