Imphal, September 22 2013:
For the first time in Manipur, Bronchoscopy service, which is also an endoscoy procedure to visualize any pathology in human body for proper diagnosis, has been launched at Sky Hospital and Research Centre, Imphal.
Speaking at the launch of the service today, Kharibam Shantikumar, Senior Consultant General Surgeon and Medical Superintendent of the Hospital, said people from Manipur used to go outside the Stater for bronchoscopy, but the same service would be now available in the State itself.
Bronchoscopy can not only diagnose any infection like TB, other bacterial and fungal infections which a normal chest x-ay or CT scan cannot detected accurately, but foreign body lodged accidentially in the airways can also be removed easily.
