What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a procedure which allows minimally invasive examination and biopsy of areas of the body, such as the bowel and nose, with either a rigid or flexible camera called an endoscope. This small camera allows us to visualise the inside of your pet's body in real time, allowing for more accurate diagnoses and targeted treatments.
Benefits of Endoscopy:
- Minimally Invasive: Endoscopy does not require the same level of invasiveness as routine surgery, resulting in less pain, faster recovery times, and reduced risk of complications.
- Accurate Diagnosis: By directly visualising the affected area and obtaining minimally invasive biopsies, we can accurately diagnose a wide range of conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory issues, and more.
- Targeted Treatment: Endoscopy allows for precise delivery of medications, removal of foreign objects, and even minimally invasive surgeries, all with minimal disruption to your pet's body.
