Non-anatomical colonic resections: splenic flexure and transverse colectomy. Central vascular ligation is crucial for survival.

CONCLUSIONS: Limited resections for TC and SF cancers can be performed with the same clinical, oncological and survival outcomes as compared to more extended colectomies if an adequate size of the specimen for the achievement of at least 5 cm of health margin is associated to Central Vascular Ligation.
