Flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy: Indications of use: To determine the cause of obstruction such as mucus plugs, tumors, broncholithiasis Removal of mucus plugs

Drawbacks: Cannot access distal endobronchial sites within the lung

Biopsies taken during fiberoptic bronchoscopy helps in the diagnosis of: Malignancy Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis
