Do the Robot(ic)-Assisted Bronchoscopy

Robotic-assisted bronchoscopies have made it possible to reach and biopsy more pulmonary nodules than ever before, a critical step for the definitive diagnosis of lung cancer. Robotic-assisted bronchoscopies allow for greater flexibility, improved visualization, and increased diagnostic yields, which as a whole improve the ability to detect lung cancer in its early stages. Today’s guest is Dr. Ivan Romero-Legro, a board-certified pulmonologist at Cleveland Clinic Florida, specializing in adult interventional pulmonology and adult critical care who helped build the robotic-assisted bronchoscopy program at Cleveland Clinic Florida.
