Top Procedures & Treatments for Pulmonology in Chennai

Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a critical procedure allowing us to look inside your lungs and air passages. This minimally invasive technique involves inserting a bronchoscope through your nose or mouth to examine lung tissues and airways. It's essential for diagnosing conditions like tumors, infections, or inflammation and offers therapeutic interventions such as removing mucus plugs or foreign bodies. We're committed to making this procedure as comfortable and effective for you as possible.

Lung Biopsy

A lung biopsy is key for diagnosing lung diseases by examining tissue samples for abnormalities. This can be done through various techniques, either minimally invasive or surgical. The insights gained are pivotal in tailoring treatments for conditions like cancer, infections, or fibrosis. With expert care, we provide accurate diagnoses to guide your care plan.

Learn More
Chest Tube Insertion

Chest tube insertion is crucial for removing air, fluid, or pus from the pleural space and restoring normal lung function. This procedure alleviates symptoms and prevents complications from conditions such as pneumothorax or pleural effusion. Our team is dedicated to performing this with precision and care, ensuring your safety and recovery.
