    A new rat gastroscopy method uses a gastric cannula and arthroscope for high-quality endoscopy. This well-tolerated technique allows biopsies and fluid collection, enabling repeated procedures in the same animal.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Animal Research Models

    Background:

    • Gastroscopy in research animals is crucial for studying gastrointestinal conditions.
    • Existing methods may lack the resolution or biopsy capabilities needed for detailed analysis.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for animal welfare and repeated studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simple, effective method for performing gastroscopy in anesthetized rats.
    • To enable high-quality endoscopic visualization and documentation.
    • To facilitate advanced procedures like biopsies and electrocoagulation within the rat stomach.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized an implanted gastric cannula in anesthetized rats.
    • Employed a standard rigid arthroscope adapted with a novel valve system.

  • Performed endoscopic visualization, photo documentation, biopsies, electrocoagulation, and fluid collection.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved high-quality endoscopic imaging and photographic documentation.
    • Successfully obtained large-size biopsies.
    • Demonstrated the feasibility of electrocoagulation and fluid collection.
    • Found the procedure to be well-tolerated, allowing for repeated gastroscopy in the same animal.

    Conclusions:

    • The described method offers a straightforward and effective approach to rat gastroscopy.
    • This technique supports comprehensive gastrointestinal examination and intervention in rodent models.
    • Its ease of use and tolerability make it suitable for longitudinal studies.
