Endoscopy


An endoscope uses fiber-optic equipment to allow us to see inside the body. This incredible technology means that we can clearly examine many internal organs and body structures without the need for invasive exploratory surgery.
 
Endoscopy_mark_wiseman.jpgAt The Vet Centre we have both a large and small endoscope which allows us to see into small areas such as the nasal cavity and ear canal, and larger areas such as the trachea, oesophagus, stomach and cervix.
 
Endoscopy is often performed under sedation where possible, although a general anaesthetic is sometimes the best option, such as if a biopsy or other secondary procedure is likely upon diagnosis.
