Popis: Bronchoscopy in this modern era has proved its utility and superiority far beyond imagination and has surpassed and replaced the majority of the surgical procedures. However, there have been certain limitations to the applicability of this vital technique especially in a country where we face lack of proper equipments and trained personnel at all health centers. This case series with review of literature examines the spectrum of limitations of bronchoscopy and the rare cases encountered, which leads to the surgical alternatives for managing intrabronchial pathology based on relevant current literature.
