Specialised Pulmonary, Bronchoscopy & Thoracic Services
Comprehensive outpatient and surgical thoracic services directed by Dr. Soumitra Sinha Roy. Integrating fellowship-trained expertise from Stellenbosch and Toronto across day-care EBUS-TBNA, transbronchial cryobiopsy, airway stenting, lung transplantation, and refractory asthma biologics.

Advanced Pulmonary & Interventional Care
Evidence-based diagnostic and interventional pulmonary care across five specialised domains, from minimally invasive EBUS bronchoscopy and airway stenting to advanced lung transplant evaluations.
Interventional Pulmonology
Fellowship-trained procedural expertise utilising advanced endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), rigid bronchoscopy, and cryotherapy to obtain definitive tissue diagnoses and relieve central airway blockages without opening the chest.
Targeted Conditions
Evaluated & Managed Under This DomainWhen Should You Consult an Interventional Pulmonologist?
Interventional pulmonology bridges clinical chest medicine and thoracic surgery, offering scarless, minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic solutions for high-risk respiratory conditions.
Indeterminate Lung Nodule or Mediastinal Mass
When a CT or PET-CT scan shows an unexplained lung lesion, enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes, or suspected thoracic malignancy requiring precise tissue confirmation without open surgical incision.
Persistent Hemoptysis (Coughing Blood)
Repeated or acute episodes of coughing blood where bronchial artery embolisation or medical therapy has failed or where the exact anatomic source requires direct endoscopic visualization.
Post-Intubation Tracheal Stenosis & Airway Narrowing
Stridor, severe inspiratory breathlessness, or suffocative sensation following prior prolonged mechanical ventilation, tracheostomy, or extrinsic airway compression from benign or malignant tumors.
Complex Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) & Fibrosis
Progressive breathlessness, dry cough, and bilateral fine crackles on HRCT requiring differentiation between Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), hypersensitivity pneumonitis, or autoimmune CTD-ILD.
Modern Bronchoscopy Theatre & Diagnostic Suite
Equipped with cutting-edge Japanese endobronchial ultrasound optics and German cryosurgical technology at STAR Multi-Speciality Hospitals, Hyderabad.
Linear & Radial EBUS Systems
Real-time ultrasound visualization of mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes (Stations 2, 4, 7, 10, 11) for precise minimally invasive staging and diagnosis.
Erbe Cryosurgery & Cryo-Recanalization
Nitrous oxide-driven rapid freezing probe technology providing freeze-thaw debulking of airway lesions and parenchymal lung cryobiopsies.
Rigid & Flexible Bronchoscopy Suites
Comprehensive therapeutic bronchoscopy platform for central airway foreign body retrieval, mechanical dilatation, and precision tracheobronchial stenting.
Specialised Day-Care Recovery Unit
Dedicated clinical recovery area with continuous hemodynamic monitoring, conscious sedation oversight, and streamlined same-day discharge protocols.
