Endoscopy - More Accurate and Better For Our Patients
What Is An Endoscope?
An endoscope is a medical instrument used for visual examination of the interior of a body cavity or a hollow organ such as the colon, bladder, or stomach. It is a rigid or flexible tube fitted with lenses (camera), a fiber-optic light source, and often a probe, forceps, suction device, or other apparatus for examination or retrieval of tissue.
The use of this tool is called endoscopy. Pronounced: en-dos-kuh-pee

What Can You Do With An Endoscope?
With an endoscope, we are able to surgically view and treat areas that we otherwise might not be able to get to and with a much smaller incision.
What This Means For Your Pets.
Because we are able to make a much smaller incision and combine the endoscope with the technologies of our video otoscope and our laser, we are able to offer our patients more accurate and less invasive surgeries and biopsies.
