Interventional Pulmonology is a relatively new and emerging field in respiratory or pulmonary medicine. It has developed with the goal of diagnosing and treating the conditions/diseases of the lungs and chest without operation or cutting. It achieves this by using endoscopy techniques and tools which are passed through the mouth to avoid the need for operation or incision on the chest.
It is offered by respiratory physicians (
lung specialists) who have undergone extra training.
