Advanced Airway & Pleural Procedures
Interventional pulmonology uses scopes and image guidance — not open surgery — to diagnose and treat diseases of the airways, lungs and pleura. Dr. Siddarth Singh, DM from AIIMS Bhubaneswar and member of WABIP and IABP, offers the complete interventional pulmonology spectrum in Zirakpur and Panchkula.

It is the subspecialty that reaches deep lung problems through natural passages — the airway and small keyhole chest openings. For patients, this means answers and treatment with less pain, no large scars, shorter hospital stays, and options even when surgery is considered too risky.
EBUS for lymph node and cancer staging; flexible and rigid bronchoscopy for biopsy, foreign body and bleeding control; airway tumour debulking and stenting to reopen blocked windpipes; medical and rigid thoracoscopy for pleural effusion and talc pleurodesis; and TBLC cryobiopsy — larger, high-quality lung samples that often make open surgical lung biopsy unnecessary in ILD.
Outcomes in interventional pulmonology depend heavily on training and volume. Dr. Singh's DM super-specialisation at AIIMS Bhubaneswar and thousands of procedures across premier institutes mean protocol-driven safety, faster procedures, and the judgement to choose the least invasive route that still answers the question.
Common Questions
These procedures are performed through the mouth or a keyhole chest opening under sedation or short anaesthesia — no large incisions, no rib spreading. Most are day-care or need only an overnight stay, with dramatically faster recovery than open surgery.
