Testimonial by Mr. Pankaj Das

An airway fibroepithelial polyp is a benign tumor that forms in the trachea (windpipe) and can block airflow to the lungs. While its exact cause is not well understood, it may be linked to chronic irritation or inflammation of the airways, such as from smoking, pollution, or infection. Symptoms often include difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, or even episodes of respiratory distress. Diagnosis typically involves imaging tests, such as a CT scan or bronchoscopy, where a camera is used to look inside the airway, followed by a biopsy to confirm the nature of the tumor.

Bronchoscopic tumor debulking is a minimally invasive procedure used to remove the fibroepithelial polyp from the trachea. During the procedure, a thin, flexible tube with a camera (bronchoscope) is inserted into the airway. Using specialized tools attached to the bronchoscope, the surgeon carefully removes or reduces the size of the tumor, clearing the airway and improving breathing. This procedure is often preferred due to its minimally invasive nature, resulting in a quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgery. It is a safe and effective option for patients with airway obstructions caused by these benign tumors.

Mr. Pankaj Das from Assam successfully underwent Bronchoscopic Tumor Debulking for Airway Fibroepithelial Polyp at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Belgundi Preeti Vidyasagar, Consultant Interventional Pulmonologist.
