Is there a difference between bronchoscopy and lung biopsy? Is it dangerous?

Jan 11, 2022

There is a difference. The bronchoscope is used to enter the trachea and bronchus through the mouth, pharynx, and larynx to observe whether there are lesions or foreign bodies. If necessary, cells can be brushed and sent for pathological examination. Lung biopsy can be performed by thoracotomy to obtain lung tissue, or puncture lung tissue under ultrasound guidance for histopathological examination, but there are more potential risks, which may cause iatrogenic pneumothorax, hemothorax, or hemothorax. Hopefully my answer is of help to you.
