contents Is centralization for rectal cancer surgery necessary? Joseph Do Woong Choi Talia Shepherd Amy Cao Toufic El‐Khoury Nimalan Pathma‐Nathan James Wei Tatt Toh Colorectal Disease AbstractRectal cancer surgery is complex and more technically challenging than colonic surgery. Over the last 30 years internationally, there has been a growing impetus for centralizing care to improve outcomes for rectal cancer. Centralizing care may potentially reduce variations of care, increase standardization and compliance with clinical practice guidelines. However, there are barriers to implementation at a professional, political, governance and resource allocation level. Centralization may increase inequalities to accessing healthcare, particularly impacting socioeconomically disadvantaged and rural populations with difficulties to commuting longer distances to “centres of excellence”. Furthermore, it is unclear if centralization actually improves outcomes. Recent studies demonstrate that individual surgeon volume rather than hospital volume may be more important in achieving optimal outcomes. In this review, we examine the literature to assess the value of centralization for rectal cancer surgery. 10.1111/codi.17119 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/termsAndConditions#vor
