How is a robotic lung biopsy done?
Using a controller at a console, a doctor maneuvers the robotic arm and catheter. Using the 3D image of the airways (generated from CT scans), the doctor directs the catheter down the throat and through the airways in the lung.
How long does a robotic bronchoscopy biopsy take?
The entire process typically takes about 4-6 hours. The bronchoscopy itself usually lasts less than an hour.
How do you prepare for a robotic bronchoscopy?
How to Prepare. You will not be able to eat or drink anything after midnight the night before the RAB. However, your doctor may allow you to take some of your medications. Please be sure to ask your physician how to handle your daily medications prior to the procedure.
How do they do a transbronchial biopsy on the lungs?
A transbronchial biopsy usually takes less than 30 minutes. Your doctor will pass a flexible telescope (bronchoscope) through your nose and down into your lungs. Your doctor will use the bronchoscope to examine your airways. They will gently push small forceps down one of your airways (a bronchus) into your lung.
