Your patients are managing bowel function they will never raise with you.

Bowel dysfunction after anterior resection is common, persistent and quietly life-altering. Most surgeons counsel patients about it before surgery. Far fewer measure it afterwards.

And patients are reluctant to bring it up. Research into why has found people describe not wanting to waste a surgeon’s time with something they have decided to live with. So the conversation stops, the symptoms do not, and your picture of your own functional results stays incomplete.

Which leaves the questions you cannot answer from memory:

How is bowel function in the patients I resected three years ago?

What is my anastomotic leak rate across my whole practice?

What do I actually know about the outcomes of my benign work?

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

WHAT ALREADY GETS MEASURED

The bowel cancer audit covers your cancer work.
It does not cover the rest, or the years afterwards.

Your data in real time.

The bi-national bowel cancer audit is a serious piece of infrastructure and worth participating in. It also reports at site level rather than surgeon level, covers cancer only, and does not collect patient-reported outcomes.

Everything else in a colorectal practice sits outside it: haemorrhoids and fistula, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease, pelvic floor and rectopexy. So does long-term function, for every patient you operate on.

THE PATIENT’S VIEW

Ask them, so they do not have to raise it

PROMS sends validated surveys to your patients by SMS at intervals appropriate to the procedure, so the question gets asked without the patient having to decide whether it is worth your time. You choose which instruments go out when you set up each case.

Responses land directly in your private dashboard, case by case and aggregated across your practice, with response notifications available for your peace of mind.

Long-term bowel function, continence and quality of life become something you can see across years, rather than something you find out about by chance.

Start capturing surgical insights — in minutes.

Step 01

Start a case in seconds

Quick Case lets you or your rooms open a case and schedule its surveys in seconds. Record as much detail as you prefer.

Step 02

Follow-up runs itself

Surveys run automatically, and responses come back to you, privately.

Step 03

Review in a minute

Scan the recovery of everyone you operated on last week, and the weeks before, in under a minute.

Step 04

Reflect and act

Use what you see for your CPD, for conversations with colleagues and referrers, and for your own practice.

THE RECORD COMPOUNDS

Bowel function at three years cannot be measured retrospectively

A colorectal surgeon who starts recording now will know, in ten years’ time, how their patients actually did. One who waits five years will have five years of nothing to look back on, and no easy way to recover them.

Of all the specialties SurgicalPerformance supports, this is the one where starting now matters most, because the outcomes that define your work only become visible with time.

THE RECORD COMPOUNDS

Bowel function at three years cannot be measured retrospectively

• Outcome tracking and performance review
• Patient satisfaction and feedback
• Quality improvement activities
• Reflective practice and benchmarking

Evidence for your annual surgical audit

Surgeons are expected to audit their own practice each year and submit it for peer review, benchmarked against a standard or against peers. Patient feedback is a recognised part of reviewing your own performance. Using SurgicalPerformance produces both, across your whole practice rather than your cancer work alone.

frequently asked questions

How can I track my colorectal surgery outcomes?

Record each case and its outcomes in one place as you operate. SurgicalPerformance captures your activity, complications and patient-reported recovery continuously, and presents them on a single private dashboard.

Can I track long-term bowel function after anterior resection?

Yes. Validated surveys are sent to your patients automatically at intervals appropriate to the procedure, extending well beyond the point where routine follow-up appointments stop.

Does this cover benign colorectal work?

Yes. Your whole practice sits in one record, including haemorrhoids and fistula, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and pelvic floor work, none of which is captured by the bowel cancer audit.

How do I track my anastomotic leak rate?

Each case and its complications are recorded as you go, so your leak rate is calculated from your own data and visible over time rather than estimated from memory.

Who can see my data?

Only you. Your records are not shared with your hospital, your college or your insurer, and they do not appear in any public rating. Only de-identified, aggregated data powers peer benchmarks.

Can I compare my outcomes with other colorectal surgeons?

Yes. As our suite of de-identified data within the colorectal surgery specialty grows you can benchmark your results against the aggregated data from other surgeons, while your own data stays confidential to you.
