Transbronchial Lung Biopsy

A transbronchial lung biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect small tissue samples from the lungs. A doctor inserts a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope through your mouth or nose into your airways. Using this scope, they can navigate to the affected areas and remove tiny pieces of lung tissue with special tools. These samples are then examined in a lab to help diagnose conditions like infections, inflammation, or lung diseases. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed under sedation, and provides valuable information to guide treatment.
