title: Blood dissemination of colonic epithelial cells during no-touch surgery for rectosigmoid cancer.
abstract: No-touch surgery is used to minimise spread of malignant cells during surgery for colorectal cancer. We looked for cell dissemination in mesenteric blood during no-touch surgery and showed such spillage in 12.5% of patients.
