Surgical Excellence

Our mission is to provide the best colorectal care available anywhere in the world by utilizing a combination of the latest evidence-based approaches and cutting-edge modern technology.

  • Da Vinci Robotic assisted surgery
  • State-of-the-art laparoscopic equipment 
  • Hybrid endoscopic approaches
  • Modern 3D ultrasound imaging

A Multidisciplinary Team

The best outcomes come from collaboration. We work hand-in-hand with medical gastroenterologists, radiologists, oncologists, gynaecologists, plastic surgeons, specialised ultrasonographers, stoma therapists, pelvic floor physiotherapists, dietitians and trained nursing staff — so that every treatment plan is shaped by the right experts from the start.

Patient Reported Outcome Measures

Evidence based medicine is at the heart of our apporach. At the start of every patient's journey with us, they capture baseline quality of life and outcomes scores. These are monitored long term, and our results regularly auditied for areas of improvement.

We believe that every patient deserves the best possible care, and we are committed to providing it.

Why patients choose us

  • Dr Rademan combines broad general surgical expertise with extensive robotic experience and leads a dedicated pelvic unit at Mediclinic Durbanville treating incontinence and prolapse.
  • Dr Botes is the first surgeon in South Africa accredited in robotic surgery for both colorectal and hernia surgery and remains a senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University.
  • Dr Michau, who joined the practice in 2026, extends the specialist colorectal care to Mediclinic Cape Gate.
  • Together the practice offers northern-suburbs patients access to techniques — and outcome tracking — usually found only in major international academic centres

Colorectal surgery will always be a high-risk field.
We strive to reduce complications as much as humanly and technologically possible.
