OUR STORY

Know About Us

Why Manipal Hospitals?

When lung conditions grow complicated, patients and their families often feel caught between worry and uncertainty, wondering if anyone can truly help. At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, our interventional pulmonology program was built to answer that worry with action and empathy. We believe that even the most complex lung problems become more manageable when patients have a team that truly listens and explains. Our approach combines technical skill with genuine human connection because we know that healing happens best when trust runs both ways. Patients choose us because of:

  • Expert interventional pulmonologists: Our Interventional Pulmonologists have advanced training in managing complex airway and pleural diseases using the latest evidence-based techniques.

  • Advanced bronchoscopy suite: We are equipped with robotic-assisted and navigational bronchoscopy systems that allow us to reach and sample even the tiniest lung nodules with remarkable accuracy.

  • Same-day diagnosis capability: For many patients, we can perform diagnostic procedures and deliver answers quickly, reducing the agonising wait time that often accompanies lung disease.

  • Comprehensive pleural disease management: From recurrent pleural effusions to complex infections, our team offers medical thoracoscopy and indwelling catheter placement to provide lasting relief.

  • Whole-person support: We coordinate closely with oncologists, radiologists, bronchoscopy specialists in Bangalore, and thoracic surgery teams to ensure every patient receives seamless, integrated care without having to navigate the system alone.

Services Offered

FAQ's

EBUS bronchoscopy uses an ultrasound attached to a bronchoscope to visualise lymph nodes and structures adjacent to the airways. It allows minimally invasive sampling for lung cancer staging, infections, and unexplained lymph node enlargement, often avoiding open surgical biopsy.

Rigid bronchoscopy is preferred for significant airway obstruction, tumour debulking, large foreign body removal, or major bleeding control. It provides better airway control and allows placement of stents or therapeutic instruments safely under general anaesthesia.

Airway stenting involves placing a silicone or metallic stent to keep narrowed airways open. It is performed under bronchoscopic guidance. Patients usually experience immediate breathing relief and require follow-up bronchoscopies to monitor stent position and airway health.

Most bronchoscopic procedures are minimally invasive and have a good safety profile when performed by experienced specialists. Risks such as bleeding, infection, or airway irritation are carefully monitored with imaging guidance and post-procedure observation.

Recovery depends on the complexity of the procedure. Diagnostic bronchoscopies often allow discharge the same day, while therapeutic procedures such as rigid bronchoscopy or airway stenting may require short inpatient monitoring and respiratory follow-up.
