Fiberoptic esophagogastroscopy, brushings, and biopsy in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
Laboratory Animal Science
|December 1, 1978
Abstract:
The esophagus and stomach of rabbits were examined with a pediatric fiberoptic endoscope. The procedure involved general anesthesia and placement of an endotracheal airway followed by endoscopy. Photography, biopsies, and brushings for histology, cytology, and microbiological cultures were accomplished using this procedure. Rabbits were endoscoped and brushed repetitively on successive days without inducing esophagitis.
