Interventional Pulmonology Procedures

Interventional pulmonology refers to a specialized field in medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating lung-related issues using minimally invasive procedures. These treatments often involve techniques such as bronchoscopy, where a thin tube with a camera is inserted into the airways to visualize and address problems like blockages, tumors, or infections. Other procedures may include placing stents to hold open airways or draining fluid from around the lungs. The goal is to improve lung function and patient comfort, often avoiding more invasive surgeries and quickening recovery times.
