What are the risks of a Bronchoscopy to remove mucus?

  1. Hi Gator and thanks for your post. While we cannot provide medical advice or diagnostics over the internet (for your own safety), your concern certainly warrants a reply. In the most general of terms, a bronchoscopy, (just like any procedure) can be associated with risks. It would be best for you to further this discussion with the doctor(s) who will be performing this procedure with you. Please do check back and let us know how you're doing. Wishing you well, Leon (site moderator)

    1. Hi Gator,
      Like Leon said, please ask your doctor some frank questions. In fact, take a list of questions and write down the answers so that you can make an informed decision on what you need vs the risks involved.
