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
Advanced Features:
- High-definition video imaging for clear visualization
- Flexible fiberoptic design for easy navigation through the airways
- Advanced diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities
- Minimally invasive, reducing patient discomfort and recovery time
Procedures Performed:
- Diagnostic bronchoscopy for lung cancer, tuberculosis, and other respiratory conditions
- Therapeutic bronchoscopy for foreign body removal, excess mucus suctioning, and tumor debulking
- Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) for lung infection diagnosis
- Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) for mediastinal lymph node evaluation
Benefits:
- Accurate diagnoses and staging of lung cancer
- Effective treatment of respiratory conditions, such as chronic cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath
- Minimally invasive, reducing patient discomfort and recovery time
- Expert care from experienced pulmonologists and medical staff
