About Najib

Mr Najib Daulatzai, consultant colorectal and general surgeon in London and Hertfordshire

My name is Najib Daulatzai, and I am a Consultant General and Colorectal Surgeon practising in London and Hertfordshire, with specialist expertise in robotic and minimally invasive surgery. I am one of a small number of colorectal surgeons in the UK who is multi-platform trained, operating on both the da Vinci Xi and da Vinci 5 (DV5) robotic systems as a routine part of my practice.

My clinical interests span the full breadth of colorectal and general surgery, including colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, diverticular disease, and perianal conditions such as haemorrhoids, fissures, and fistulas.. I also perform hernia repairs using robotic techniques and am an accredited endoscopist, carrying out diagnostic and surveillance colonoscopy and flexible sigmoidoscopy.

I completed my medical degree at University College Hospital London and undertook specialist colorectal surgical fellowships at St Mark's Hospital London and Frimley Park Hospital, gaining extensive experience in complex colorectal cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, and advanced robotic and laparoscopic surgery. I hold a Master's degree in Surgical Sciences from University College London and an MD (Research) from Imperial College London, and have authored numerous publications and presented at national and international conferences.

I hold an NHS consultant post at West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, where I also serve as NELA (National Emergency Laparotomy Audit) Lead. I see private patients at Spire Bushey Hospital, The Wellington Hospital, and HCA Golders Green Outpatients.

I consult in English, Pashto, and Farsi, and welcome patients from all backgrounds. Self-pay patients are very welcome — please contact the practice directly for fee information.

Values

I am a consultant colorectal and general surgeon with a straightforward aim: to offer each patient clear advice, careful surgery, and support through recovery. Whether your care is NHS or private, my focus is on listening properly, explaining your options in plain language, and using robotic and minimally invasive techniques where they will benefit you most.

Patient-Centred Care

I take time to understand your symptoms, concerns, and goals. Every consultation includes honest discussion of investigation and treatment options, so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

Excellence in Robotic & Minimally Invasive Surgery

I am multi-platform trained on the da Vinci Xi and da Vinci 5 systems and use advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques routinely for colorectal and general surgical procedures, aiming for precise surgery and a faster return to normal life.

Integrity & Transparency

I explain diagnoses, risks, and likely outcomes clearly. There are no hidden steps in your pathway — you will know what to expect before, during, and after surgery.

Team-Based Care

Complex colorectal care works best as a team effort. I collaborate closely with gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, anaesthetists, and specialist nurses across NHS and private pathways.

Commitment to Recovery

Surgery is only part of your journey. I plan operations with recovery in mind and provide structured follow-up, including stoma nurse support and coordinated cancer care where needed.
