Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a medical procedure that enables doctors to examine the airways and lungs using a flexible tube called a bronchoscope. This tube is inserted through the nose or mouth and allows the physician to visually inspect the lungs, identify abnormalities, collect tissue samples, or remove blockages. It is commonly used to diagnose respiratory conditions such as lung infections, tumors, tuberculosis, and chronic diseases like COPD.

Bronchoscopy is also used for treatment purposes, including removing foreign objects, clearing mucus, or performing procedures like laser therapy for tumors. The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia or mild sedation, ensuring comfort while providing valuable insights into the patient’s lung health.

Dr. Vaibhav R. Kubal utilizes bronchoscopy as an essential part of his diagnostic approach, offering comprehensive care to help patients with various lung conditions.
