Key Words	Lymph node yield; Colorectal cancer; Overall survival; Prognosis; Tumor node metastasis staging
Core Tip	The lymph node yield (LNY) cannot be considered a significant reliable item to assess the quality of surgical resection. The aim of the surgeon includes obtaining an intact specimen, and the role of the pathologist includes collecting a high LNY for microscopic examination and reporting the accurate tumor node metastasis (TNM). The involvement of the lymph nodes and the final T and N of TNM can only be known after removing the specimen. Features considering the association with LNY and survival remain issues beyond this step, therefore diligent search for lymph nodes is required on gross examination of the surgical specimen.
