Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy in Indore – What is Bronchoscopy?
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to look inside the airways (windpipe and lungs) using a thin, flexible tube with a camera. It helps in both diagnosis (finding the cause of lung problems) and treatment (clearing or correcting airway issues).
At our center, we use the latest Olympus Video Bronchoscope from America, which provides high-resolution imaging and advanced precision for safe and accurate care.
Diagnostic Bronchoscopy
With the Olympus video bronchoscope, doctors can:
- Examine the airways and vocal cords for nodules, polyps, paralysis, or tumors.
- Inspect the trachea and bronchi up to third-generation branches.
- Identify causes of chronic cough, unexplained breathlessness, or abnormal chest scans.
- Perform biopsies (tissue sampling) for infections, inflammation, or cancer.
- Carry out endobronchial biopsy for suspected airway tumors
Advanced Option – EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound)
For deeper lung masses or centrally located tumors, we also provide EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound) Bronchoscopy in Indore, available by appointment. This technique helps doctors take ultrasound-guided biopsies without major surgery.
Therapeutic Bronchoscopy
Bronchoscopy can also be used as a treatment tool to:
- Remove thick mucus plugs blocking the lungs.
- Clear foreign bodies accidentally inhaled (common in children and elderly).
- Perform balloon dilatation to open narrowed airways.
- Use advanced techniques (laser, stents, or other tools) to manage airway blockages from tumors or scarring.

Your doctor may recommend bronchoscopy if you have:
