Interventional Bronchoscopy

Interventional bronchoscopy is a specialized medical procedure used by pulmonologists to diagnose and treat lung issues through a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope. This tube is inserted through the nose or mouth and into the lungs, allowing doctors to visualize the airways and perform treatments, such as removing blockages, taking tissue samples, or delivering targeted therapies. It is a minimally invasive approach, meaning it generally involves less risk and a quicker recovery compared to traditional surgery, helping patients with conditions like lung cancer, infections, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
