Increase in cases of varied diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases, colon cancers

A videoscope is used by technicians and surgeons to inspect difficult spaces and parts of the body and it consists of a fiber optic rod attached to the camera that sends video to monitor for operators to view. Over the years, several medical videoscope has evolved and now enable operators to manipulate the direction of the camera and view inside of even dark, confined spaces.

In a simple term, a videoscope is an endoscope with an in-built video camera that converts images into electric signals for display on the monitor. While one skilled surgeon can observe the interior condition of an organ with a traditional instrument, a videoscope allows several doctors and nurses to examine the conditions simultaneously. Moreover, it decreases the chances of oversight and improves accuracy and safety. The advancements in image processing have increased clarity and sharpness through better control over electric signals. Moreover, a videoscope can highlight lesions by boosting certain color signals. Such new features have expanded the horizons of surgeries.

Videoscope is vital in several industries, especially in the aviation and medical sectors. A medical videoscope is used to screen and execute diagnostic interventions inside visceral organs and hollow cavities of the body. This includes the brain, lungs, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract, abdomen, and others. Some chronic medical conditions such as abdomiastronal pain, digestive tract bleeding, ulcers, and other GI tract disease are diagnosed with the use of videoscope.

According to Allied Market Research, the global medical videoscope market is expected to reach $27.20 billion by 2022, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2016 to 2022. Surge in targeted disease and growth in the geriatric population, rise in preference for minimally-invasive surgeries, and innovation in medical videoscope drive the market growth.

There are several types of videoscope available in the market. Simple videoscope only record images, and are widely used. However, high-end and mid-range videoscopes offer novel features that help operators in recognizing flaws. They enable operators to compare multiple images and observe life images on the split-screen. Thus, they are preferred in minimally-invasive surgeries.

Videoscopic surgeries enable doctors to see and work inside the body by making small incisions. Compared to traditional surgeries where larger incisions were necessary for surgeries, videoscopic surgeries minimize risks significantly. Doctors can view internal organs through a tiny video camera connected to a television monitor which plays a part as a visual guide for the surgeon.

The clinical videoscope market is fragmented in view of item type, application, end client, and geology. In light of item type, the market is bifurcated into videoscopes and perception and documentation frameworks. The videoscope section is isolated into videoscopy gadgets, container endoscopy, and robot-helped endoscopy.

A medical videoscope is an optical medical instrument that helps to screen and execute diagnostic interventions inside the hollow cavities and visceral organs of the body, such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, brain, lungs, abdomen, and others. The increase in number of endoscopic procedures due to the growing ailments, such as abdominal pain, ulcers, digestive tract bleeding, abnormal growths in the colon, and other abdominal & gastrointestinal diseases, is expected to boost the market growth.

In the future, the demand for minimally-invasive surgeries and therapies would increase. Computer-enhanced surgeries would continue to evolve in the future and would depend on medical videoscopes for better visuals.
