Bronchoscopy Tests

BREATHE HOSPITAL - Khammam

Bronchoscopy & Advanced Pulmonary Procedures

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a chest physician (Pulmonologist) to examine the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube with a high-definition camera. It is used both to diagnose lung diseases and to perform certain treatments without major surgery. Bronchoscopy helps identify the cause of persistent cough, coughing up blood, lung infections, abnormal chest scans, airway blockages, and suspected lung tumors. It can also be used to collect tissue samples, remove mucus plugs or foreign bodies, and perform therapeutic interventions.
