Exploring the Bronchoscopy Procedure with Dr. Pradeep Kiran Panchadi

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows doctors to examine the airways and lungs using a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope. This procedure is commonly used to diagnose various respiratory conditions, including infections, tumors, and chronic lung diseases. It is indicated for patients experiencing persistent cough, abnormal imaging results, or unexplained respiratory symptoms. During bronchoscopy, the doctor can also collect tissue samples for biopsy, remove blockages, or deliver treatments directly to the lungs. The benefits of bronchoscopy include accurate diagnosis, targeted treatment, and the ability to visualize the airways in real time, making it an essential tool in respiratory medicine.
