What is Bronchoscopy?

Bronchoscopy is a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure that uses a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope to examine the airways, lungs, and other respiratory structures. The bronchoscope is equipped with a camera and light, enabling detailed visualization of the bronchial passages.

This procedure helps identify underlying issues causing symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, or unexplained bleeding. It is also used to collect tissue samples (biopsy), remove blockages, or deliver targeted treatments.

Conditions Diagnosed and Treated with Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is essential for diagnosing and managing various lung and airway conditions, including:

  • Lung Infections: Identifies bacterial, viral, or fungal infections in the lungs.
  • Lung Cancer: Detects tumors, collects biopsy samples, and stages the disease for treatment planning.
  • Chronic Cough: Investigates unexplained chronic coughing or wheezing.
  • Airway Obstruction: Identifies and clears blockages caused by mucus, tumors, or foreign objects.
  • Pulmonary Tuberculosis (TB): Aids in diagnosing and managing active or latent TB cases.
  • Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD): Collects tissue samples for evaluating conditions affecting lung tissue.
  • Hemoptysis: Examines the cause of coughing up blood.
