Endoscopy and Laparoscopy

Over the years Patrick Dale has gained practical experience in all aspects of endoscopy and endosurgery. He has completed his General Practitioner Certificate in Endoscopy - GPCert(Endo).

Holly Arnott and Katarina Byrnes have also completed their GPCert(Endo) while working closley alongside Patrick. 

We have two endoscopic suites on site that permits the performance of endoscopy and endosurgery. 

There are many procedures that we can perform simply and painlessly that would have previously required extensive, painful surgical intervention.

Please call to speak with the team if you have questions regarding what is possible, when endoscopy is appropriately performed or how much procedures would be likely to cost.

There are videos to view on our youtube channel of a variety of procedures that Patrick has performed (necessarily edited) but some are listed below. Almost all of these procedures will enable examination, biopsy, excision and foreign body removal. The images can be digitally captured and exported as nescessary. 

  • Any thoracic investigation (including lung lobectomy and pericardial sacculectomy)
  • Upper and lower airways including bronchoscopic tracheal stent placement and rhinoscopy.
  • Oesophagogastroduodenoscopy or colonoscopy (feline and canine)
  • Urethrocystography (bitches only) for identification of ectopic ureters and carcinomas
  • Minimally invasive exploratory laparoscopy, including castration for cryptorchidism
  • Arthroscopic appraisal of shoulder lameness or medial coronoid process excision
