Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy allows examination of your airways (eg:

larynx

,

trachea

,

lungs

) for any abnormality such as bleeding, inflammation, foreign bodies such as cancerous or benign

tumours

by a

Bronchoscopist

. Usually, you will have a chest X-ray prior to the procedure and will be required to fast for at least six hours beforehand. The flexible

bronchoscope

is passed through either your nose or mouth.
