Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is a common procedure for diagnosing diseases affecting the upper GI tract's lining.
  • It is generally safe, with few contraindications and rare complications, making it a valuable diagnostic modality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities of upper GI endoscopy in veterinary medicine.
  • To identify key unresolved issues and areas for future research in veterinary upper GI endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of upper GI endoscopy procedures and their applications.
  • Discussion of diagnostic techniques including mucosal biopsy and brush cytology.
  • Description of therapeutic interventions such as foreign body retrieval and stricture management.

Main Results:

  • Upper GI endoscopy is highly effective for diagnosing luminal and mucosal diseases of the upper GI tract.
  • A variety of procedures, from biopsies to gastrostomy tube placement, can be performed during endoscopy.
  • Key areas for further investigation include the integration of radiology and endoscopy, combined upper and lower GI endoscopy protocols, and understanding discrepancies in diagnostic findings.

Conclusions:

  • Upper GI endoscopy is an indispensable tool in veterinary gastroenterology for both diagnosis and treatment.
  • Further research is needed to optimize its use and address current challenges in veterinary endoscopic practice.
