Common equine upper respiratory conditions are diagnosed via endoscopy. Endoscopic surgery facilitates correction of many conditions without general anesthesia or laryngotomy, reducing the morbidity and cost of the procedures. Modalities of endoscopic surgery include the Nd-YAG laser or electrosurgery, which may be complementary. The least expensive method is electrosurgery, and instruments are available that can be passed through the biopsy channel of the endoscope. Conditions amenable to such procedures include entrapped epiglottis, rostral displacement of the palatopharyngeal arch, pharyngeal cysts or polyps, retropharyngeal abscesses within the guttural pouch, guttural pouch tympany, and ethmoid hematoma.
常见的马属动物上呼吸道疾病通过内窥镜检查进行诊断。内窥镜手术有助于在无需全身麻醉或喉切开术的情况下矫正多种病症，从而降低手术的发病率和成本。内窥镜手术方式包括钕钇铝石榴石激光或电外科手术，这两种方式可能具有互补性。最便宜的方法是电外科手术，并且有可通过内窥镜活检通道的器械。适用于此类手术的病症包括会厌受阻、腭咽弓向前移位、咽囊肿或息肉、咽鼓管囊内的咽后脓肿、咽鼓管囊鼓胀以及筛窦血肿。
