Kaplumbağalarda Endoskopi Uygulamaları

Endoskopi birçok hastalığın tanı ve sağaltımında yararlanılan önemli bir yöntemdir. Endoskopi “iç bakı” anlamına gelir. Sürüngen endoskopisi ilk kez 1983 yılında tanımlanmış ve ilk kullanımı Kuzey Amerika’da bildirilmiştir. Günümüzde özellikle cerrahi hastalıkların tanı ve sağaltımlarında, mümkün olduğunca invaziv olmayan endoskopik yöntemlerin kullanılması önem kazanmıştır. İç organlar, endoskopik görüntüleme ile net bir şekilde görülür. Laboratuvar analizleri için gerekli örnek ve biyopsiler kolaylıkla alınır. Aynı zamanda, endoskopik girişin kapatılmasında tek bir kas ve deri dikişi ya da doku yapıştırıcısı kullanılması yeterli olur. Ayrıca iyileşme süresinin kısalması da büyük bir avantaj olarak değerlendirilir. Endoskopik muayene rijit ya da fleksibl endoskoplar ile yapılır. Bu amaç ile kamera, monitör ve ışık kaynağı kullanılır. Kaplumbağalarda endoskopinin en yaygın kullanım alanlarından birisi cinsiyet tayinidir. Bunun yanı sıra, kaplumbağalarda en çok kullanılan endoskopik girişimler pulmonoskopi, özefagoskopi, gastroskopi, söloskopi ve kloakoskopidir. Bu derlemede kaplumbağalarda cerrahi hastalıkların tanı ve sağaltımlarında en yaygın kullanılan endoskopik girişimler ele alınmıştır. Böylelikle ülkemizde kaplumbağa ya da diğer egzotik hayvanlara olan ilginin artırılması, endoskopik girişimler hakkında meslektaşlarımıza bilgi sunulması ve hekimliğimiz uygulama alanına bu yöntemin yerleştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Endoscopic Applications in Turtles

Endoscopy is an important method used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. It means looking inside. Reptiles endoscopy identified for the first time in 1983 and the first use is reported in North America. Nowadays, especially diagnosis and treatment of surgical disease, as much as possible using non-invasive endoscopic methods have gained importance. Internal organs are seen with endoscopic imaging clearly. Samples necessary for laboratory analysis and biopsies are taken with easly. At the same time, in the closure of endoscopic entry, the use of a single muscle and skin suture or tissue adhesive is sufficient. In addition to shortening the healing time is considered as a big advantage. Endoscopic examination is made with rigid or flexible endoscopes. For this purpose camera, monitor and light source are used. One of the most widespread use of endoscopy in turtle is sex determination. Besides, the most widely used endoscopic procedures in turtle is pulmonoscopy, esophagoscopy, gastroscopy, coelioscopy and cloacoscopy. In this review, diagnosis and treatment of surgical diseases in turtles is considered the most widely used in endoscopic procedures. Thus, in our country, increasing interest in turtles or other exotic animals, to present information to our colleagues about endoscopic procedures and veterinary medicine is intended to be placed on the application of this method.
