Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive airway procedure in which a thin flexible scope with a light, camera and working channel passes through the nose or mouth, larynx and trachea into the bronchi. It can inspect the airway, wash cells and microbes from a lung segment, brush or biopsy a lesion and, in therapeutic cases, remove secretions or treat an obstruction.

EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) combines flexible bronchoscopy with a linear ultrasound transducer at the scope tip so structures beyond the airway wall can be seen and sampled. EBUS-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) commonly targets defined mediastinal and hilar lymph-node stations or a central peribronchial mass.

Rigid Bronchoscopy

Rigid bronchoscopy places a straight, hollow metal ventilating barrel through the mouth and larynx into the trachea or main bronchi under general anaesthesia. Its wide lumen secures a central-airway corridor for high-volume suction, optical instruments, forceps, stents and bleeding-control or tumour-debulking tools.

Airway Stenting

Airway stenting places a tubular prosthesis in the trachea or a main bronchus to hold open a clinically important central-airway narrowing, seal selected airway defects or support a collapsing airway. Silicone and self-expanding covered metal stents behave differently and usually require bronchoscopic surveillance and a removal or revision strategy.

Medical Thoracoscopy

Medical thoracoscopy is a single- or limited-port examination of the pleural space performed by a trained pulmonologist, usually under local anaesthetic with conscious sedation in a procedure room. It permits drainage, direct inspection, multiple parietal pleural biopsies and, when appropriate, talc poudrage pleurodesis followed by chest-drain management.

Medical Pleuroscopy

Medical pleuroscopy is direct endoscopic inspection of the pleural space through a limited chest-wall port, usually using a semi-rigid pleuroscope under local anaesthetic and conscious sedation. It permits pleural-fluid drainage, targeted parietal biopsies and selected talc poudrage, followed by a chest drain.

Cryo-Lung Biopsy

Transbronchial lung cryobiopsy uses a flexible cryoprobe passed through a bronchoscope into peripheral lung, where rapid cooling freezes parenchyma onto the probe for en-bloc extraction. It yields larger, less-crushed tissue cores than forceps biopsy but carries important bleeding and pneumothorax risks.

TBNA (Transbronchial Needle Aspiration)

Conventional transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA) passes a sheathed needle through the bronchial wall into a lymph node or peribronchial lesion selected from CT and airway landmarks, without real-time ultrasound. Aspirated cells and fragments are prepared for cytology, cell block and selected microbiology.

Lung Transplantation

Lung transplantation replaces one or both irreversibly diseased lungs with deceased-donor organs; heart-lung transplantation is reserved for selected combined cardiopulmonary disease. It is a regulated allocation treatment with major surgery, ICU care and lifelong immunosuppression—not an organ that an international patient can buy or schedule.
