Veterinary endoscopes can be used for material sampling, biopsy, observation and other operations in the ear canal, bladder, digestive tract of experimental animals, etc., and can also be connected to optical lens bayonet, high-definition endoscopic camera, medical monitor and other equipment to achieve display Screen observation, and take pictures, record and store all observed images.
Endoscopes play an increasingly important role in modern medical technology and have become an indispensable diagnostic tool in the medical process. Under the direct vision of a dedicated endoscope, the operation is performed through a minimally invasive channel into the body, with small wounds, quick recovery, and visualization of the whole process, reducing the risk of surgery. Endoscopic minimally invasive surgery greatly reduces the pain of animals and speeds up postoperative recovery, which is undoubtedly a good news for small animals.
Endoscopes are divided into rigid endoscopes and soft endoscopes. Rigid endoscopes are suitable for the inspection of tissues and organs such as the nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, bladder, vagina, thoracic cavity, and abdominal cavity of livestock; soft endoscopes Endoscopy can be used to examine the trachea, bronchi, esophagus and gastrointestinal tract; today we learn about animal cystoscopy.
Common urethral cystoscopy is suitable for most small animals. Such as chronic cystitis, abnormal urination, trauma or pyuria, etc., but also adapted to abnormal X-ray films.
Animal cystoscopy operation: stand and hold, expel rectal feces and bladder urine, and recommend medullary epidural anesthesia. First insert the catheter and pump air into the bladder, take out the catheter, insert the rigid endoscope, and display the situation in the bladder in real time by displaying it on the medical monitor. The normal bladder mucosa is shiny and moist, the blood vessels are bulging, dark red, and the ureteral orifice is constantly formed by urine droplets. In chronic cystitis, the mucous membrane thickens in the form of a ridge or resembles a tumor-like hyperplasia.
In bladder examination, the better method is cystoscopy, by which the state of the bladder mucosa and the lesions inside the bladder can be directly observed, and the source of hematuria or pyuria can also be determined based on the observation of the ureteral orifice.
