About Mr Najib Daulatzai


Mr Najib Daulatzai is a high-volume robotic surgeon and Lead for Colorectal Surgery at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. He also leads the trust's colorectal virtual hospital service, which has cut the average hospital stay after bowel surgery by three days.

He uses robotic and keyhole surgery for bowel and rectal cancer, diverticular disease, inflammatory bowel disease and hernias, and treats haemorrhoids, anal fissures and fistulas, pilonidal disease, and lumps such as lipomas and cysts. He also sees patients with symptoms such as rectal bleeding, a change in bowel habit, abdominal pain, and anal pain or itching, and as an accredited endoscopist can arrange prompt colonoscopy where needed. All cancer and complex cases are reviewed at a multidisciplinary team (MDT) meeting with oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and gastroenterologists.

Mr Daulatzai trained at University College London and completed fellowships at St Mark's Hospital, London, and Frimley Park Hospital in complex colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and robotic surgery. He holds a Master's degree in Surgical Sciences from UCL and an MD (Research) degree from Imperial College London, has published widely, including on robotic surgery and enhanced recovery after bowel surgery, and introduced prehabilitation to his trust. He sees and operates on private patients at Spire Bushey Hospital, HCA The Wellington Hospital and Cleveland Clinic London, and also sees patients at HCA Golders Green.

I can never thank Mr Daulatzai and the whole team of NHS staff enough for the treatment I have received. The bowel screening programme has potentially saved my life. From day one everything was clearly explained to me with all options discussed. The time, care and thoughtfulness has been outstanding and I couldn’t have hoped for more. Thank you all so much. I will be forever grateful.

Me Daylatzai was professional and very honest and clear when sharing information with me. He also listens to my feedback and concerns and addresses them promptly and kindly I have always felt he and his team have always cared well for my well being and recovery pre and post surgery. Even when I left the surgery there was always someone available to discuss the concerns I had and I was treated really well.
