IV. Analysis & Discussion

Two main factors contributed to the positive outcome of this case:

▪️Accurate and Efficient Diagnostic Process
With a clear clinical history from the owner combined with imaging results, a rapid and precise diagnosis was achieved. This ensured timely intervention and guided targeted treatment.

▪️Advantages of Minimally Invasive Endoscopy
The use of JeetVet veterinary endoscopes provided high-definition visualization. The flexible and slender insertion section minimized irritation and reduced the risk of mucosal injury, effectively avoiding complications such as obstruction.

V. Advantages of JeetVet Endoscopes

This clinical case demonstrates three key advantages of JeetVet gastrointestinal endoscopes in retrieving gastric foreign bodies:

1.High-Definition Imaging for Accurate Localization
Equipped with advanced optical imaging and 360° omnidirectional angulation, JeetVet endoscopes clearly display the foreign body’s size, shape, and location, as well as surrounding mucosa—ensuring precise and safe removal.

2.Versatile Instruments for Different Foreign Bodies
JeetVet offers a complete range of specialized retrieval instruments, suitable for removing foreign bodies made of metal, plastic, bone, or other materials. These tools are designed with optimal flexibility and strength, reducing the risk of slippage or mucosal injury.

3.Minimally Invasive and Efficient Procedure
Compared with traditional open surgery, endoscopic removal requires no external incision, shortens procedure time, and accelerates patient recovery. This minimally invasive approach reduces hospitalization duration and discomfort while improving clinical efficiency—meeting the growing demand for advanced veterinary care.
