Pleuroscopy by Rigid Thoracoscope

Pleuroscopy using a rigid thoracoscope is a specialized procedure that allows direct access and visualization of the pleural space. This technique is primarily used for diagnosing and treating pleural diseases, including pleural effusions, infections, and suspected malignancies.

Dr. Manoj Kumar Goel, a leading pulmonologist with extensive experience in interventional pulmonology, offers this advanced procedure with a high degree of accuracy and safety. The rigid thoracoscope provides superior image quality and enables the collection of large, high-quality biopsy samples during the same session.

Unlike flexible thoracoscopy, the rigid version is performed in a controlled hospital setting under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia. The rigid instrument allows for therapeutic interventions such as pleurodesis or the drainage of thick pleural fluid during the same procedure, making it both diagnostic and therapeutic.

Pleuroscopy with a rigid thoracoscope is especially beneficial in complex pleural cases where more precision and better access are needed. With the expertise of Dr. Manoj Kumar Goel, patients receive comprehensive evaluation and timely management for their lung and pleural conditions using state-of-the-art equipment.
