A recent NEJM study correlates the time spent in doing a colonoscopy to polyps found:
One factor distinguishing the physicians who found many adenomas from those who found few was the amount of time spent examining the colon, according to the study, in which the gastroenterologists kept track of the time for each exam and how many polyps they found.They discovered that those who slowed down and took their time found more polyps.
