What is Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope to visualize the airways and lungs. This thin, flexible tube with a camera and light on the end allows our pulmonologists to:
– Examine the trachea, bronchi, and lungs
– Collect tissue or fluid samples for biopsy or laboratory analysis
– Perform therapeutic interventions, such as removing foreign bodies or excess mucus
