Precision Diagnosis for Complex Chest Conditions

At APIC, we offer advanced thoracoscopy services — a minimally invasive procedure used to examine and biopsy the pleura (lining of the lungs), chest wall, and surrounding structures. Led by internationally trained lung specialist Dr. Asim Ahmed Qureshi (FRCP, MRCP UK, CCT UK), our center delivers expert care with diagnostic accuracy.

🩺 What is Thoracoscopy?

Thoracoscopy is a video-assisted procedure that allows direct visualization of the pleural space (the area between the lungs and chest wall). Using a thoracoscope — a thin, flexible tube with a camera and light — the procedure is performed through a small incision between the ribs, typically under local anesthesia with sedation.

✅ Why is Thoracoscopy Performed?

• Evaluation of suspicious areas seen on X-ray or CT scan

• Biopsy of pleural tissues for conditions like mesothelioma, lung cancer, or tuberculosis

• Diagnosis of pleural effusion (fluid buildup around the lungs)

• Assessment of unexplained chest infections, inflammation, or scarring

• Staging of thoracic cancers
