Advanced minimally invasive procedures used to diagnose and treat diseases affecting the lungs, airways, mediastinum, and pleural cavity.
Bronchoscopy may be used to examine the airways, collect diagnostic samples, perform biopsies, and investigate abnormalities within the lungs.
Rigid bronchoscopy may be used for complex airway procedures such as tumour debulking, airway dilation, airway stenting, and foreign-body removal.
EBUS is used to assess lymph nodes, mediastinal abnormalities, and peripheral lung lesions and can help obtain tissue samples for diagnosis.
Advanced bronchoscopic techniques may be used to investigate suspicious pulmonary nodules and other abnormalities detected on lung imaging.
Airway narrowing may be managed using procedures such as balloon bronchoplasty, airway dilation, and airway stenting when clinically appropriate.
Pleural disorders may be evaluated and treated using thoracoscopy, drainage procedures, and other specialised pulmonary interventions.
Specialised evaluation and management of severe respiratory illnesses requiring close monitoring and advanced pulmonary care.
Evaluation of suspected lung cancer and thoracic abnormalities using advanced diagnostic procedures including bronchoscopy, EBUS, and tissue biopsy.
