Abstract
This study demonstrates no clinical benefit in sending anastomotic doughnuts for histopathologic evaluation after performing a low anterior resection with a stapled anastomosis for rectal cancer. Overall cost may be decreased if doughnuts are not analyzed or if they are bundled with the primary tumor specimen.
