How overground endoscopy influences treatment for upper airway problems

Periodically there are innovations in veterinary medicine that allow a leap forward in the science, understanding and treatment of disease. These include the introduction of aseptic technique, the advent of minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy to name a few. The introduction of overground endoscopy to the veterinary market is just one of those innovations and represents one of the most exciting developments in equine medicine over recent years. The equipment, of which there are a number of versions, allows the acquisition of images of the equine pharynx and larynx under normal exercise conditions and does not require the use of a high-speed treadmill.
