Therapeutic Bronchoscopy

Therapeutic bronchoscopy goes beyond just examining your airways – it's a procedure where we actively treat problems we find in your breathing passages. Using specialized tools attached to the bronchoscope, we can remove objects that may be blocking your airways, such as mucus plugs, foreign objects, or tissue growths. We can also place stents to keep airways open or apply treatments directly to affected areas.

This procedure is performed under sedation or anesthesia for your comfort, and while you may experience a mild sore throat afterward, most patients notice immediate improvement in their breathing. Recovery time is typically short, and most patients can return home the same day or the next day, depending on the specific treatment performed.
