Preface

Over the past century, the role of bronchoscopy has evolved from removal of airway foreign bodies by Chevalier Jackson to image-guided precision lung tissue sampling by robotic techniques. This book serves as a comprehensive review of pediatric flexible bronchoscopy fundamentals and as an introduction to the full spectrum of advanced diagnostic and interventional techniques. It represents the collective experience of international experts sharing their insight with the next generation of pediatric bronchologists. Flexible bronchoscopy has become an indispensable tool used by pediatric pulmonologists to evaluate airway pathology and for select therapeutic interventions. It is exciting to think about where the field will be in the
