Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS)
Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is an advanced minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and evaluate lung diseases, infections, enlarged lymph nodes, and lung cancer. Dr. Jigneshkumar M. Patel provides expert EBUS procedures in Goregaon, Mumbai with precision-based respiratory diagnosis and care.
Why is EBUS Performed?
Common Conditions Evaluated with EBUS
- Enlarged chest lymph nodes
- Lung infections and tuberculosis (TB)
- Lung cancer diagnosis and staging
- Interstitial lung diseases
- Unexplained lung abnormalities on CT scan
Benefits of EBUS
- Minimally invasive diagnostic procedure
- Real-time ultrasound-guided precision
- Reduced need for surgical biopsy
- Faster recovery and minimal discomfort
- Accurate diagnosis for effective treatment planning
Procedure & Evaluation
EBUS combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound technology to visualize airways and surrounding lymph nodes for accurate diagnosis.
What to Expect During the Procedure:
- Detailed respiratory and imaging evaluation
- Procedure performed under sedation
- Ultrasound-guided sampling of lymph nodes or tissues
- Safe and minimally invasive diagnostic approach
- Monitoring during and after the procedure
- Post-procedure guidance and follow-up care
EBUS plays an important role in early diagnosis and accurate treatment planning for complex lung conditions.
Recovery & Follow-up
Most patients recover quickly after EBUS and can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
