title: [Clarification and treatment of teat stenosis using endoscopy].
abstract: In ten cows ten stenotic teats were endoscopically examined and treated. For this purpose two different methods were performed: Either the endoscopy was performed through the teat canal or through a small incision in the side of the teat. The endoscopy through the teat canal proved to be a simple and practical method. However, the results were not always clear-cut, and a controlled operation was not possible. Endoscopy through a side access is more expensive but has several advantages. It allows a good view on the Fürstenbergsche Rosette, one of the most frequent locations of stenosis. Additionally, controlled operations of the level of the Fürstenbergsche Rosette are possible once a suitable instrument has been introduced through the teat canal. The additional trauma caused by the access hole is a minor problem. All cows examined and treated by this method could be milked without any problems three days after the operation.
