Endoscopy

Examinations and endoscopic procedures performed at the Kurosz Clinic

  • diagnosis of pharyngeal, oesophageal and gastric lesions
  • diagnosis of lesions in the nasal passages
  • removal of foreign bodies from the stomach
  • taking samples from pathological lesions for histological examination
  • polypectomy – removal of polyps in the oesophagus and stomach
  • colonoscopy
  • laryngo-tracheo-bronchoscopy

An endoscopic examination allows lesions in the internal organs to be viewed thanks to a camera that is inserted into the animal’s body. The very clear, direct image expands the diagnostic capabilities of the veterinarian. This is particularly important precisely in the case of animals as they cannot talk about their ailments. Endoscopic examination is in many cases a necessary complement to indirect diagnostic methods (blood analysis or imaging techniques). In addition, it allows sections to be taken and treatments to be performed in otherwise inaccessible areas of the body.
