Abstract:

Objective: To investigate the relationship between waist circumference and cecal intubation time (CIT) in female subjects during colonoscopy. Study Design: A descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery, Kanuni Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, from January to September 2016. Methodology: This study included 61 female subjects who underwent colonoscopy in our clinic. The colonoscopies were performed by a single surgeon. The waist circumferences of all subjects were measured before the procedure with the technique recommended by the WHO. In colonoscopy, the cecal intubation time was recorded for each subject. The results were evaluated statistically and p <0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean waist circumference was 100.6 ±19.0 cm. The mean cecal intubation time was 9.0 ±2.7 minutes. A strong statistically significant negative correlation was found between waist circumference and cecal intubation time (r = -0.689, p <0.001). Conclusion: The cecal intubation time was found to be significantly shorter in the female subjects with larger waist circumferences.
