What is Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves inserting a flexible tube with a camera into the airways to examine the trachea and bronchial passages. It is used to diagnose lung conditions, collect tissue samples, and treat airway obstructions. Bronchoscopy is essential for managing infections, lung cancers, and unexplained respiratory symptoms.

Procedure
Performed under local anaesthesia or sedation, a flexible bronchoscope is gently inserted through the nose or mouth into the airways. Dr. Modi can perform a biopsy, bronchoalveolar lavage, and removal of foreign bodies or secretions. The procedure is minimally invasive, safe, and allows for rapid recovery.

Why it Happens / How to Manage
Bronchoscopy is indicated for chronic cough, abnormal imaging, airway obstruction, or suspected malignancy. It helps provide an accurate diagnosis and guides effective treatment. Dr. Modi ensures patient safety and comfort throughout the procedure and provides follow-up care to ensure optimal outcomes.
