Centre for Surgical Treatment of Rectal Carcinoma
Surgical treatment of rectal carcinoma – Jihlava Hospital Centre
We are a specialised centre for the surgical treatment of rectal carcinoma in the Vysočina Region.
Within the regional oncology care network, our unit has been designated to provide specialised surgical care to patients diagnosed with rectal carcinoma. We offer a comprehensive approach including minimally invasive and robot-assisted procedures, multidisciplinary cooperation and follow-up oncology care.
This page is intended for general practitioners, gastroenterologists, oncologists, surgeons and other specialists who identify a patient with findings suspicious of rectal carcinoma or with an already confirmed diagnosis.
When should a patient be referred to our unit?
A patient can be referred at practically any stage of the diagnostic work-up.
We will provide:
– completion of staging if it has not been fully done
– evaluation of the findings by the multidisciplinary team
– proposal of the optimal surgical approach
– performance of the surgery (including laparoscopic and robotic approaches)
– handover to further oncology or follow-up care.
Our team:
– Specialised team with many years of experience in colorectal surgery
– Robot-assisted procedures available (Da Vinci)
– Multidisciplinary oncology board (MDT)
– Individual approach and rapid continuity of care
– Close cooperation with surrounding hospitals and outpatient clinics
How to refer a patient?
To refer a patient to us, please write to: koordinace-rekta@nemji.cz
Please include in the e-mail:
– brief information about the patient (age, working diagnosis, findings to date)
– your contact details as the referring physician

What is da Vinci robotic surgery?
Surgeons have been using the da Vinci system for robot-assisted surgery for more than 25 years. Surgery with the da Vinci system is now a common way of performing many surgical procedures, including lung, urological and gynaecological surgery. Patients who have surgery with the da Vinci system usually spend less time in hospital than with other types of surgery, which may allow them to return sooner to what matters most to them.
Your surgeon operates, not the robot
Although da Vinci operations are called robot-assisted, the operation is always performed by the surgeon, not by a robot. The da Vinci system gives the surgeon advanced instruments and technology to use during the procedure.
- Your surgeon is with you in the operating room, sitting at a console from which he or she controls the instruments used for the operation.
- A high-definition 3D camera lets the surgeon see your anatomy in more detail and more precisely than is possible with the naked eye.
- Your surgeon uses miniature wristed instruments that can move in more directions than the human hand.
Why do surgeons choose da Vinci systems for their operations?
- Surgeons can perform complex operations through a few small incisions. Small, flexible instruments move with a wider range of motion than the human hand.
- Surgeons see the surgical field and instruments in 3D HD with 10× magnification – like seeing a coin as big as a plate.
- Surgeons are in full control. Their hands control the miniature instruments and the endoscopic camera in real time.
- Da Vinci systems allow the surgeon to operate with exceptional precision and smoothness.

Important safety information: Patients should talk to their doctor to decide together whether surgery with the da Vinci system is right for them. Patients and doctors should review all available information on non-surgical and surgical treatment options and the associated risks in order to make an informed decision. Serious complications, including death, may occur with any surgery, including da Vinci surgery. Serious risks include, among others, injury to tissues or organs or conversion to another surgical technique, which could result in a longer operating time and/or an increased risk of complications. For a summary of the risks associated with surgery, see www.intuitive.com/safety. Individual patient outcomes may vary depending on several factors, including patient characteristics, disease characteristics and/or surgeon experience.
