Endoscopy
What is endoscopy?

Endoscopy means to look inside. A small camera is used to look inside organs or body cavities (through key hole incisions) under magnification, and small instruments are used to take samples for testing (eg. biopsies) or remove foreign material/objects, making it minimally-invasive.
What endoscopic procedures can be performed in exotic pets?
With technological advances and ongoing research, there are numerous endoscopic procedures that can be performed in exotic pets, even in some of the smallest patients. Common procedures include:
- stomatoscopy (mouth)
- otoscopy (ear)
- rhinoscopy (nose)
- tracheoscopy (wind pipe)
- gastroscopy (stomach)
- coelioscopy (body cavity)
- cloacoscopy (cloaca)
- cystoscopy (bladder)
