Your pet can have a condition that is difficult to diagnose without actually examining an internal organ or obtaining a biopsy, or tissue sample. While this is often accomplished with surgery, in some cases, endoscopy can provide a less invasive alternative.
During this procedure, a veterinarian inserts an endoscope — a tubular instrument with a small camera and light at one end — into an opening of the body. Endoscopic equipment can be used to examine different internal organs.
