Transbronchial Biopsy (TBB)

A transbronchial biopsy is a non-surgical procedure performed using a bronchoscope and special biopsy forceps designed to be used in the lung. During a transbronchial biopsy (TBB), biopsy forceps are used to retrieve a small piece of tissue from a suspicious area of the lung or airway. The tissue sample is then examined to diagnose lung disease.
