Interventional Pulmonology
Interventional Pulmonology
Interventional pulmonology is a specialized area of pulmonary medicine that utilizes minimally invasive techniques to diagnose and treat a wide range of lung and airway conditions. This advanced field is essential in managing complex respiratory diseases such as lung cancer, airway obstructions, and pleural disorders. These procedures help reduce recovery time, lower complication risks, and enhance overall patient outcomes.
Precise care, better breathing
Minimally invasive interventional pulmonology for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of complex lung conditions.
Key Procedures
-
Bronchoscopy:
A flexible tube with a camera is inserted into the airways to diagnose and treat lung diseases. It enables tissue biopsy, removal of blockages, and evaluation of infections or tumors.
-
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS):
An advanced bronchoscopy technique using ultrasound to assess lymph nodes and masses near the lungs. EBUS is especially useful for diagnosing and staging lung cancer.
-
Pleuroscopy and Thoracentesis:
Minimally invasive procedures to diagnose and manage pleural conditions. These include draining fluid from the pleural space and collecting tissue samples.
-
Airway Stenting:
Placement of stents to open narrowed or blocked airways caused by tumors, scarring, or other obstructions—improving breathing and airflow.
Benefits of Interventional Pulmonology
Interventional pulmonology offers major benefits such as avoiding open surgery, minimizing hospital stays, speeding up recovery, and reducing complication risks. These advanced procedures are especially valuable for patients with serious lung conditions who need timely and effective treatment.
