Elective Activity.
The Oxford Colorectal Unit has a reputation for the provision of high-quality care and excellent clinical outcomes across the spectrum of colorectal disease. Training opportunities exist in the following subspecialty areas.
Colorectal and Anal Cancer. The Unit carries out over 200 resections per year for colorectal cancer, serving a population of 1.4 million. Laparoscopic resection is the mainstay of practice. Robotic surgery accounts for a growing proportion of minimally invasive resections, particularly for the management of rectal cancer. The Unit has particular expertise in the management of early rectal cancer including TEMS and TAMIS approaches. The Unit is the regional centre for the management of anal squamous cell cancers. The quality of our results is evident in the NBOCA audit.
Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
Oxford has an international and historic reputation in the advancement of treatment of inflammatory bowel disease and the Colorectal Unit works closely with a large department of IBD gastroenterologists. The Unit attracts regional referrals for complex IBD, particularly patients with complex fistulating Crohns Disease.

This fellowship will allow for participation in specialist pelvic floor outpatient clinics, the pelvic floor MDT and provide training in anorectal physiology, endo-anal sonography, and SNS implantation.
