Endoscopic Techniques

  • Bronchoscopy – Procedure which evaluates the internal airways (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles within the lungs) to remove foreign bodies or to obtain tissues or fluid to aid in the diagnosis of respiratory disease.
  • Colonoscopy – Allows visualization of the large intestine (colon) and rectum.
  • Cystoscopy – Allows visualization of the urethra and urinary bladder to search for anatomic abnormalities (ectopic ureters), visualize and biopsy masses, or remove foreign bodies.
  • Endoscopy – Flexible or rigid tube with an attached high-resolution camera which allows visualization of the digestive tract (esophagus, stomach, and small intestine), in order to obtain biopsies and in emergency situations to remove foreign bodies.
  • Orpharyngoscopy – Allows visualization of the back of the throat to asses for foreign bodies, masses, or laryngeal dysfunction.
  • Rhinoscopy – Procedure which allows visualization of the nose, nasal passages, and the nasopharynx.
  • Vaginoscopy – Allows visualization of the vaginal vault, often look for foreign bodies or to obtain biopsies.
