| Core Tip |
There are well known predictive factors of longer cecal intubation time (CIT). Old age, female, poor quality of bowel preparation, history of prior abdominal surgery, trainee, diverticulosis and constipation are associated with longer CIT. A low visceral adipose tissue (VAT) volume, female, having a lower or higher body mass index, and fellow involvement were predictors of a longer CIT based on the present study. Especially, low VAT volume was associated with prolonged CIT in only women. |
