Advanced bronchoscopy is a specialized area within respiratory medicine, offering both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that have significantly evolved over the past 25 years. Originally developed by Dr. S. Ikeda from Japan as a flexible alternative to rigid bronchoscopy, this technique allows clinicians to visualise the airways in real-time, even under conscious sedation. The advent of advanced imaging technologies has led to new methods of diagnosing and treating various lung conditions. Today, interventional pulmonology is a subspecialty that combines flexible bronchoscopy with cutting-edge techniques for managing complex respiratory diseases.
Professor Singh has over 30 years experience and works with other world experts in this important diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. He is widely published and will ensure patients get the most appropriate tailored approach to their clinical need.
Bronchoscopy is used to diagnose and treat a range of respiratory symptoms and conditions, including:
1. Breathing Difficulties:
Bronchoscopy is a valuable tool for diagnosing various respiratory conditions by allowing direct visualization of the airways and the collection of tissue samples. Advanced bronchoscopic techniques include:
1. Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS):
2. CT Navigation Bronchoscopy:
3. Fluorescence Bronchoscopy:
4. Biopsy:
In addition to diagnostics, advanced bronchoscopy is increasingly used for therapeutic interventions. These include:
1. Cancer Management:
2. Bronchial Thermoplasty:
3. Lung Volume Reduction for Emphysema:
For patients with emphysema, advanced bronchoscopy offers new treatments, such as:
4. Critical Care Bronchoscopy:
