Hunt Regional Medical Center’s Super Dimension Bronchoscope allows for early lung cancer detection. It can produce optical images, perform biopsies and remove fluid while directly examining a patient’s air passages. The procedure is performed in the Surgery Department (usually as day surgery) because it requires anesthesia.
At Hunt Regional Healthcare, we offer multiple types of robotic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure that uses robotic technology to provide surgeons with a more precise and controlled view of the surgical field.

This should be the person responsible for taking the patient home and caring for them there. Again, we request this be limited to 1 or 2 adult family members.
