Endoscopy/Arthroscopy/Laparoscopy

Video endoscopy allows us to look inside the body without making a surgical incision. At Southpaws we have a large number of flexible and rigid scopes that enable us to examine many areas of the body. We have combined these scopes with high definition cameras to ensure that the picture quality obtained is of the highest possible standard.

Our internal medicine department use these scopes for examination of the gastrointestinal, upper respiratory and urinary tract and nasal cavity.

Our surgeons also use these telescopes for examination, diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting joints (shoulder, elbow and knee), the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. A large number of procedures can be performed with a scope or with scope assistance. These procedures are generally less invasive than comparable open procedures meaning less discomfort and more rapid recovery for your pet.
