Pet Endoscopy

Pet Endoscopy

Endoscopic techniques can be used to facilitate a wide variety of veterinary treatments. Bronchoscopy is the technique used to examine the respiratory tract, remove foreign objects, and detect and sample lesions or tumors. Cystoscopy allows treatment of the bladder, while gastrointestinal endoscopy addresses issues in the stomach and intestines. Laparoscopy allows the vet to view abdominal organs. Otoscopy allows examination of the ear canal and middle ear (and is one of the most common veterinary medicine procedures). Rhinoscopy is a technique for exploring and treating the nose and throat. Vaginoscopy is used to treat vaginal issues and enhance animal husbandry techniques. This equipment can also be used to aid in less invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic spays and gastropexy (attaching the stomach to the belly wall to prevent rotation of the stomach).
