Bronchoscopic Tumour Removal in Mumbai | Advanced Airway Tumor Management

Overview of Bronchoscopic Tumour Removal

Bronchoscopic tumour removal is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive treatment used to manage central airway tumors causing obstruction and respiratory distress. At Lung Care Mumbai, we offer a full range of bronchoscopic techniques—including rigid bronchoscopy, flexible bronchoscopy, electrocautery, and argon plasma coagulation—to safely and effectively excise or debulk benign and malignant endobronchial growths.

Recent medical guidelines and experience show that rigid bronchoscopy is the preferred approach for large, central airway tumors, providing excellent airway control and rapid relief of obstruction. Flexible bronchoscopy may be employed for peripheral lesions or in concert with rigid techniques. Advanced adjuncts such as electrocautery and argon plasma coagulation (APC) are used to achieve complete tumor removal, coagulate bleeding areas, and treat the tumor base for optimal airway restoration.

Techniques Offered at Chhajed Lung Care Rigid Bronchoscopy for Tumour Debulking

Rigid bronchoscopy is particularly effective for removing large tumors from the trachea or mainstem bronchi, especially those at risk of bleeding or causing severe airway compromise. This procedure uses a ventilating tracheobronchoscope under general anesthesia, enabling safe mechanical debulking and immediate improvement in patient oxygenation.

Flexible Bronchoscopy with Electrocautery and APC

Flexible bronchoscopy allows precise excision of smaller or more distal tumors using tools like electrocautery snares, forceps, or Dormia baskets. Electrocautery and argon plasma coagulation are advanced modalities used for tumor ablation, control of bleeding, and treatment of residual tumor tissue or base, reducing recurrence rates and improving long-term airway patency.
