The Interventional Pulmonology Centre provides advanced, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic care for patients with lung and airway conditions, including lung cancer and complex chest diseases. 

Bringing together specialised expertise, state-of-the-art technology and a coordinated multidisciplinary approach, the Centre aims to enhance diagnostic accuracy, reduce waiting times and improve patient comfort. Many conditions that previously required surgery can now be managed through less invasive airway- and chest-based procedures, supporting faster recovery and shorter hospital stays. 

By centralising advanced interventional pulmonology services, the Centre delivers timely diagnosis, personalised treatment and seamless, one-stop care. 
 

• Lung cancer and suspected lung nodules 
  
• Enlarged chest lymph nodes 
• Interstitial lung diseases 
• Airway narrowing or blockage (benign or malignant) 
• Pleural conditions, including pleural effusion 
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and emphysemaPersistent pneumothorax 

• Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS‑TBNA) 
  For lung cancer staging and diagnosis of mediastinal and hilar lymph node diseases 
  
• Electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) 
  For evaluating and sampling hard‑to‑reach lung nodules 
• Robotic‑assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) 
  For ultra‑precise tissue sampling of peripheral lung lesions 
• Cryobiopsy 
  For diagnosis of interstitial lung disease and advanced tissue evaluation 
• Basic airway interventions 
  For assessment and management of airway abnormalities

• Complex airway management 
  For patients with benign or malignant or benign airway obstruction  
  
• Bronchoscopic thermal ablation 
  Using radiofrequency ablation (RFA) or cryocautery for targeted tumour treatment/ lung volume reduction 
• Management of benign airway stenosis 
  Including balloon bronchoplasty and intralesional steroid injections 
• Comprehensive pleural disease management 
  For both diagnostic and therapeutic indications 
• Pleuroscopy 
  For evaluation of undiagnosed exudative pleural effusion and talc pleurodesis when appropriate 
• Tunneled indwelling pleural catheter (IPC) placement 
  Supporting ambulatory, long‑term management of recurrent malignant pleural effusions

The Centre works closely with: 

• Respiratory Medicine specialists 
  
• Thoracic surgeons 
• Oncologists 
• Radiologists 
• Pathologists 
• Specialist nurses and allied health professionals

Complex cases are regularly reviewed in multidisciplinary meetings to ensure well‑coordinated, personalised treatment planning.

• Daily interventional procedure sessions (Monday to Saturday) 
  
• Dedicated sessions for advanced procedures using specialised imaging technologies 
• Daily outpatient consultations with short waiting times, particularly for suspected lung cancer cases 
• Regular multidisciplinary lung tumour board meetings for coordinated care planning
