Eugene Gorodetsky D.V.M. - Mobile Endoscopy Services

Dr. Gorodetsky provides on-call endoscopy services for our emergency patients. A typical case would be a dog who has swallowed a foreign object such as a toy. The patient is spared a major operation by having the object retrieved using a flexible endoscope.

Examples of procedures which can be done with an endoscope are:

• upper gastro-intestina study (examination of the oesophagus, stomach, and part of the small intestine)
• colonoscopy (examination of the colon and rectum)
• rhinoscopy (looking up the nasal cavity)
• bronchoscopy (examining the airways).

Endoscopy often includes collecting samples such as biopsies; these samples are sent to a pathology laboratory for further evaluation.

Dr. Gorodetsky will visit other hospitals in British Columbia to perform endoscopy.  You can contact him through the Vancouver Animal Emergency Clinic, or you can reach him directly on his cell or by email.
