Abstract

I have presented 317 patients with cancer of the sigmoid colon giving the reasons experimentally and technically that the no-touch isolation technic gives the best results for five-year survivals and I have discussed the technic employed.I have presented the survival rates with computer analysis tables for close inspection.I believe that these improved results are due to the no-touch isolation method of resection and I feel that with the evidence at hand, the old conventional manipulative resection technic for cancer of the colon should be abandoned in favor of the isolation technic, as described.
