Here are some of the benefits of robotic bronchoscopy:
- More precise access to hard-to-reach areas of the lungexpand_more
- Improved visualization of the airwaysexpand_more
- Reduced risk of complications compared to traditional bronchoscopyexpand_more
- Potential for shorter procedure timesexpand_more
