Robotic-Assisted Bronchoscopy
If you’ve been diagnosed with lung cancer or have a suspicious lung nodule, getting accurate answers quickly and safely is essential. At Trinity Health Michigan, we offer robotic-assisted bronchoscopy—a minimally invasive approach that allows our specialists to reach deep into the lungs with greater precision and control. This advanced technology helps our providers navigate hard-to-reach areas of the lung using a thin, flexible catheter guided by real-time 3D imaging. The result is a more accurate
biopsy with less discomfort, fewer complications and a faster recovery. Our experienced pulmonary and thoracic specialists are committed to delivering high-quality care with the latest tools available—so you can move forward with confidence.
More Precision. Less Incision.
Unlike traditional methods, robotic-assisted bronchoscopy allows your doctor to collect tissue samples from small or peripheral lung lesions without large incisions. The system acts like a GPS for the lungs— guiding the catheter with pinpoint accuracy to the exact location of concern. This minimally invasive lung biopsy technique helps reduce pain, protect healthy tissue and improve diagnostic accuracy. It also lowers the risk of complications and supports a quicker return to normal activities.
