Therapeutic Bronchoscopy

Therapeutic bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope to examine and treat problems inside the lungs and airways. It's performed to remove blockages like mucus, tumors, or foreign objects, to stop bleeding, or to deliver medicines directly into the lungs. The procedure is typically done under sedation or anesthesia, allowing the doctor to access hard-to-reach areas safely. It provides a minimally invasive way to diagnose and treat certain lung conditions, improving breathing and overall lung health without the need for more invasive surgery.
