Dr Banerjee offers private bronchoscopy procedures to investigate and diagnose a range of lung and airway conditions. This minimally invasive test allows us to get a clear, detailed view of your airways and lungs, helping to identify the cause of persistent symptoms such as a chronic cough, breathlessness, or unexplained chest infections.

What happens during BRONChoscopy?

A bronchoscopy involves passing a thin, flexible tube with a small camera (bronchoscope) through your nose or mouth and into your airways. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic and, if needed, mild sedation to ensure you feel comfortable and at ease. The camera provides real-time images, allowing us to check for inflammation, blockages, or abnormal tissue. We can also take small tissue samples (biopsies) or collect fluid samples for further testing if required.

Before your bronchoscopy, our team will explain the procedure in detail, answer any questions you have, and ensure you feel fully prepared. The test itself usually takes about 30 minutes, and you'll be monitored afterwards until you're ready to go home — typically the same day.

Once we have your results, we’ll arrange a follow-up consultation to discuss the findings and next steps. Whether it’s confirming a diagnosis, planning further treatment, or offering lifestyle advice, we ensure you have a clear understanding of your lung health.

Our private bronchoscopy service combines medical expertise with a compassionate approach, giving you fast access to the answers you need without long waiting times.
