Patectoscopy

Pathectoscopy (from the Greek pathos - suffering, illness and skopeo - looking, observing) is a research method based on visual inspection and palpation of organs and tissues through natural openings or artificially created accesses.

Patectoscopy allows you to assess the condition of the abdominal organs, chest, and cranial cavity. Endoscopes, laparoscopes, and thoracoscopes are used for examination. The method is widely used in surgical practice for diagnosis and as a stage of surgical interventions.

Patectoscopy makes it possible to visually assess the condition of organs and identify pathological changes with minimal trauma compared to traditional methods of surgical access.

Pathectoscopy is a surgical endoscopy used in pathological processes of the head of the penis and the adjacent area of ​​the pelvic organs. It is a special method of pathological anatomy. The name is a combination of two Greek roots: “pathos” - disease and “skopeo” - look, explore. This procedure determines the etiology of inflammatory processes in the intimate area, identifies disorders of sexual development with further adequate therapy.

Patekt (from pat and ectroscopy, genitive case) is an outdated medical term that denoted the objective diagnosis of certain diseases by detecting external changes in the patient’s organs and tissues, by observing the phenomenon of refraction using an ophthalmoscope.

Pathectoscopy (Greek pathos pathos - suffering, sorrow, pain) in medicine was called extroscopy (or pathectoscopy). This technique made it possible to identify pathological processes in the eyeball by examining the anterior segment of the eye (anterior chamber, cornea, iris and lens) without directly analyzing it in the laboratory. This study was discovered in 1865. Patectoscopy is a special diagnostic method that involves searching for various pathologies inside the eyeball. Moreover, the main method of examination is external vision through an ophthalmoscope. This is a specific diagnostic device, which is the main tool in the hands of a patentoscopist. The principle of ophthalmoscopy was first developed by D. G. Bayle (1812-1903), who, after many experiments, proposed an apparatus with a round eye, called an ophthalmoscope, describing it at a meeting of the Royal Society of London (November 13, 1859).\n\ n
