CONTEXT: Tracheal stent implantation with bronchoscope has become one of the main methods for the treatment of airway stenosis. Bronchoscopy is usually performed under local or general anesthesia.
The unequal distribution of medical resources and scarcity of experienced practitioners confine access to bronchoscopy primarily to well-equipped hospitals in developed regions, contributing to the unavailability of bronchoscopic services in underdev...
Endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) improves the accuracy of bronchoscopy. The possibility of differentiating benign from malignant lesions based on EBUS findings may be useful in making the correct diagnosis. The convolutiona...
The effective biopsy of pulmonary nodules is crucial to early diagnosis and consequent effective treatment for patients. As a relatively new procedure, few studies look at the effectiveness of the Monarch system in achieving this goal. The aim of thi...

INTRODUCTION: Robot-assisted navigation bronchoscopy (RANB) has been gaining traction as a new technology for minimally invasive biopsies of peripheral pulmonary lesions (PPLs). Cryobiopsy is an established method of procuring satisfactory lung tissu...
Technology in navigating to peripheral pulmonary nodules has improved in recent years. The recent integration of a robotic platform using shape-sensing technology and mobile cone-beam computed tomography imaging technology has enhanced confidence in ...
Flexible bronchoscopy is a technically difficult procedure and has been identified as the most important procedure that should be integrated into a simulation-based training program for pulmonologists. However, more specific guidelines that govern br...
BACKGROUND: Navigating through the bronchial tree and visualizing all bronchial segments is the initial step toward learning flexible bronchoscopy. A novel bronchial segment identification system based on artificial intelligence (AI) has been develop...
