FRHS.ORG 13 Advanced lung care If a suspicious lung nodule is found during a lung cancer screening, our physician may recommend robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. What is a robotic-assisted bronchoscopy? Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is a cutting-edge medical procedure that uses robotic technology and allows physicians to visualize and biopsy remote parts of the lung that have been previously inaccessible. This minimally invasive procedure enables physicians to examine the airways of the lung. The benefits Detecting lung cancer early can significantly improve outcomes. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy allows our physicians to biopsy tight spaces and narrow airways that previously were unable to be biopsied in patients, which means that lung cancer can be caught sooner. Chhabindra Nepal, MD, was the first Faith Regional pulmonologist trained to perform robotic-assisted bronchoscopies. Faith Regional Health Services is also proud to be the fourth in the state of Nebraska to offer this technology to our patients.
