Bronchoscopy Procedure

Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is an advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedure used to examine the airways and lungs. It helps identify infections, tumors, blockages, bleeding, and other lung abnormalities with precision.

At Dr. Raju's Chest Centre & Multispeciality Hospital, bronchoscopy is performed using modern equipment by experienced pulmonologists to ensure accurate diagnosis and safe treatment.

What is Bronchoscopy?

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope is inserted through the nose or mouth into the airways. The bronchoscope has a camera and light source that allows detailed visualization of the trachea and bronchial tubes.

The procedure may be diagnostic (to collect samples or identify abnormalities) or therapeutic (to remove blockages or control bleeding).

When is Bronchoscopy Recommended?

  • Persistent or unexplained cough
  • Blood in sputum (hemoptysis)
  • Suspicious lung nodules or masses
  • Recurrent lung infections
  • Airway obstruction
  • Abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan findings

Types of Bronchoscopy

  • Flexible Bronchoscopy
  • Rigid Bronchoscopy
  • Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL)
  • Endobronchial Biopsy
  • Transbronchial Lung Biopsy

The type of bronchoscopy performed depends on the patient's condition and the clinical requirement.
