Our department comprises two of the best pulmonologists in Coimbatore. The equipment, facilities, and expertise in diagnosing and treating diseases of the respiratory tract have been set to global benchmarks.

Our Lungs Specialist In Coimbatore routinely perform bronchoscopies, thoracoscopies, pleural drainage procedures, pleurodesis, CT guided FNAC (fine needle aspiration cytology) and FNAB (fine needle aspiration biopsy). Patients suffering from hemoptysis benefit from bronchial artery embolisation while those affected by diffuse lung disease benefit from cryobiopsies. If you suffer from pulmonary disorders, we can and will help you. Medical Conditions A bronchoscopy is a procedure performed in the lungs for various respiratory disorders. It can be diagnostic as well as therapeutic. During the procedure a ‘bronchoscope’ is inserted into the airways and assessed. This is a tube with a camera at the end of it. It also has a working channel through which thin instruments like biopsy forceps can be introduced for taking a biopsy. There are two types of bronchoscopes – flexible and rigid. Traditionally, a rigid bronchoscope was used which required general anesthesia. Today however, the flexible video bronchoscope is most commonly used. It bends easily and allows the bronchoscopist to visualize even distal airways. Bronchoscopies are routinely performed by pulmonologists at Sri Ramakrishna Hospital for the following conditions: 1/3
