Robotic Bronchoscopy

 

  • GPS-like technology provides real-time guidance to ‘ navigate’ to a peripheral (deep in the lung tissue) smaller target.
  • A steerable, flexible instrument is used.
  • Unlike traditional bronchoscopy, which has limitations in reaching certain areas, robotic navigational bronchoscopy enhances accuracy.
  • This procedure requires special planning with a dedicated Chest CT and is performed under general anesthesia
