Endoscopy allows the vet to evaluate inaccessible areas of the body via a long, narrow flexible camera. The endoscopy system displays the medical image in real-time on a TV screen. Videoendoscopy is most commonly performed for assessment of the upper airway in cases of respiratory noise at exercise, nasal discharge, guttural pouch and sinus disease, assessment of the lower airway to enable collection of samples of fluid from the lower airways, examination of the urinary tract (bladder/urethra) and the genital tract (vagina, cervix and uterus in mares). We also have access to endoscopes which have a small external diameter, which can be extremely useful for foals and miniature horses.
