What advantages does Endoscopy has to offer?

Surgery by means of endoscopy causes much less discomfort for patients, and a shorter healing/recovery time, as there are no large wounds (with many sutures/ stitches), only very small incisions (for the narrow tubes to pass through). These incisions need only 1-2 stitches, heal rapidly, and cause less pain and irritation as well. Moreover, the use of 'collars' on dogs to prevent the removal of sutures, it not necessary. Apart from a faster healing time and less irritation the duration of the general anaesthesia will be shorter, and the animal will benefit of this as well.
