Minimally Invasive Surgery Techniques in Exotic Animals
Stephen J. Mehler, DVM, Dip. ACVS
Pages: 18
Publisher: Journal of Exotic Pet Medicine
Language: English
Edition: Vol 20, No 3 ( July), 2011: pp 188–205
Description
The term minimally invasive surgery refers to procedures performed using endoscopic guidance to enter a part of the body (e.g., laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, arthroscopy, rhinoscopy, gastroscopy). Endoscope-assisted procedures generally use a rigid endoscope to improve visualization and/or access or permit completion of the procedure extracorporeally to access internal body structures through small openings compared with traditional “open” incision techniques. Endoscope-assisted procedures currently performed in exotics include, but are not limited to, exploratory laparoscopy/coelioscopy/thoracoscopy, procurement of thoracic and abdominal organ biopsies, intestinal foreign body removal, cystotomy, and reproductive sterilization.
