Bronchoscopy and Esophagoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible bronchoscope is passed through your mouth or nose, going through your windpipe and ending into your lungs. This procedure is used to view the airways and diagnose lung disease, to see the inside of the airways and lungs.

Esophagoscopy is a procedure in which a flexible endoscope is inserted through the mouth into the esophagus. This procedure is used to see the esophageal mucosa from the upper esophageal sphincter to the esophageal gastric junction.

In this book, the author provides a simple, detailed and clear overview of the endoscopic proceedings, the equipment needed, and its care and use.
