Endoscopy and hysteroscopy are advanced and specialized services provided at Tehran Equine Hospital that play a significant role in diagnosing and treating internal equine diseases. These techniques are highly valued in modern veterinary medicine due to their high accuracy and minimally invasive nature, contributing to improved quality of care and increasing the success rate of various treatments.
Endoscopy in Horses:
Endoscopy is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip to examine internal body areas. In horses, endoscopy is used to assess the upper respiratory tract, esophagus, stomach, and other parts of the digestive and respiratory systems. This method allows for the diagnosis of conditions such as respiratory tract inflammation, stomach ulcers, and structural issues.
Applications:
– Examination and diagnosis of upper respiratory tract diseases such as laryngitis and pharyngeal obstructions.
– Identification of ulcers and issues in the stomach and esophagus.
– Detection of foreign objects in the respiratory and digestive systems.
– Assessment of vocal cord function and thorough evaluation before competitions.
Hysteroscopy in Horses:
Hysteroscopy involves the detailed examination of the uterus using a specialized endoscope. This method is particularly useful in assessing and treating reproductive issues in mares. Hysteroscopy allows direct visualization of the uterus and identification of lesions, inflammations, or structural abnormalities, and can also be used for therapeutic procedures such as removing uterine cysts.
–Applications:
– Examination and diagnosis of endometritis and other uterine inflammations.
– Detection of structural abnormalities in the uterus such as adhesions and masses.
– Assessment of overall uterine health before implementing breeding programs.
– Removal of uterine cysts with high precision and less invasiveness compared to traditional surgical methods, leading to reduced complications and faster recovery.
– Guiding targeted biopsies from suspicious tissues.
Advantages of Using Hysteroscopy for Uterine Cyst Removal:
Hysteroscopy for the removal of uterine cysts offers many benefits due to its precision and minimally invasive nature. This method allows for the removal of cysts with minimal damage to surrounding tissues, resulting in shorter recovery periods and quicker healing. Additionally, with high-quality imaging and direct observation of the treatment area, the veterinarian can perform the procedure with greater confidence, minimizing the risk of side effects.
