What is Pulmonology?
Pulmonology is the branch of medicine that deals with diseases affecting the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract. These conditions affect the airways, lungs, and chest. Common pulmonary conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung diseases (ILD), sleep apnea, and pulmonary infections like pneumonia and tuberculosis.
Interventional pulmonology is a subspecialty that focuses on minimally invasive procedures for diagnosing and treating complex airway and lung diseases. This specialized field uses techniques such as bronchoscopy, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), and thoracoscopy to provide precise and effective care. This makes Gleneagles Hospitals a leading Interventional and non Interventional Pulmonology Hospital in Bangalore.
