The value of assessing donuts in the context of ''lower anterior resections'' is questioned. A study of 125 individuals by Speake and Abercrombie found donuts added nothing significant.<ref name=pmid12585627>{{Cite journal | last1 = Speake | first1 = WJ. | last2 = Abercrombie | first2 = JF. | title = Should 'doughnut' histology be routinely performed following anterior resection for rectal cancer? | journal = Ann R Coll Surg Engl | volume = 85 | issue = 1 | pages = 26-7 | month = Jan | year = 2003 | doi = | PMID = 12585627 }}</ref> A larger study of 336 individuals by Ng ''et al.'' reached the same conclusion and noted that the cost of processing the donuts was USD$61,017.60.<ref name=pmid24798632>{{Cite journal | last1 = Ng | first1 = CW. | last2 = Lieske | first2 = B. | last3 = Tan | first3 = KK. | title = Routine histological sampling of doughnuts post oncologic anterior resection is not necessary. | journal = Int J Colorectal Dis | volume = 29 | issue = 7 | pages = 843-5 | month = Jul | year = 2014 | doi = 10.1007/s00384-014-1886-y | PMID = 24798632 }}</ref> | |||
