Background: While the routine performance of terminal ileum (TI) intubation during colonoscopy procedures is perceived to have a low yield, its utility during colonoscopies performed for specific indications have not been well studied.
Objectives: To assess the diagnostic yield of an indication-based ileoscopy in real-life practice.
Methods: The authors reviewed endoscopic reports of patients who underwent colonoscopies over an 8-year period (2011-2018) and had routine ileoscopy during these procedures.
