Minimally invasive surgery
Minimally invasive surgery information What is endoscopy? Endoscopy involves the use of an endoscope (rigid or flexible) – a small camera mounted on a thin probe – to look inside parts of the body which could otherwise be very difficult to inspect. A rigid endoscope is one which cannot be bent to go around corners, unlike a flexible endoscope which is often used to inspect the inside of the digestive tract (stomach and intestines) or upper airways. Rigid endoscopy: Rigid endoscopy is an extremely useful diagnostic, and in some cases therapeutic, tool in soft tissue, internal medicine and orthopaedic (arthroscopy) case management. We have an extensive range of state-of-the-art Karl Storz endoscopic equipment that significantly enhances our diagnostic and treatment options for the patients in our care. Rhinoscopy: Rigid rhinoscopy is the placing of an endoscope into the nasal cavity. It is an integral step in the investigation of dogs and cats with nasal disease. Con
