What are the most common endoscopy procedures?
Fiberoptic endoscopic examination is less traumatic than exploratory surgery, frequently reducing the risks and recovery time associated with surgical procedures. Feedback from VetVu endoscope users indicates that gastroscopy and colonoscopy are among the most common procedures for endoscopy — in both large and small animal practices. Removal of foreign objects from body cavities is a common use for endoscopes equipped with grasping and retrieval forceps. Commonly removed items are foxtails, holiday tinsel, coins and magnets. Endoscopic photography is great tool in case documentation and visual history of internal growths.
