Interventional Pulmonology

Interventional pulmonology is a specialized area within pulmonology focused on diagnosing and treating lung and airway conditions using minimally invasive techniques. This field employs advanced tools, such as bronchoscopes, to visualize and access the lungs without major surgery. Procedures can include removing blockages, treating lung cancer, or managing chronic conditions like emphysema. By using these less invasive methods, interventional pulmonologists aim to improve patient outcomes, reduce recovery times, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with respiratory issues.
