Abstract

Tracheobronchial disorders refer to a wide variety of both congenital and acquired diseases involving the lower airway. Rigid and flexible bronchoscopy plays a role in both the diagnosis and treatment of many of these disorders. Foreign body aspiration is the most commonly encountered entity. This chapter provides an overview of many of the tracheobronchial disorders, as well as equipment and technique.
