Pulmonology care in Gebze is available at 1 hospital in the Voumed network.

Pulmonology, also called chest diseases or respiratory medicine, diagnoses, treats and helps prevent diseases of the breathing system, from the lungs and airways to the pleura and chest wall. It manages a wide range of conditions, from asthma and chronic obstructive lung disease to infections, sleep apnea, scarring lung diseases and the diagnosis of lung cancer, mostly without open surgery. Patients travel for this care to reach experienced teams, modern breathing tests, interventional bronchoscopy and sleep studies that can pin down a problem quickly and accurately. Because breathing problems affect energy, sleep and daily life so directly, an early and precise diagnosis often makes a large difference to how well a person feels. The aim is to help every patient breathe more easily and to keep chronic lung conditions stable over the long term.

EBUS Endobronchial Ultrasound

Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive method that combines bronchoscopy with ultrasound to examine the airways and the tissues and lymph nodes that surround them. A thin, flexible bronchoscope carrying a camera and a small ultrasound probe is passed through the mouth into the airways, where the probe creates real-time images of structures just beyond the airway wall, such as lymph nodes and masses that cannot be seen with a camera alone. Under this live ultrasound guidance, a fine needle can take samples for the laboratory in the same session, all without any surgical incision.
