For Adults Only
The Temple Lung Center is a national leader in the diagnosis and treatment of lung-disease and airway conditions. Our Tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) Program is the only dedicated program of its kind in the Philadelphia region offered to patients with this rare and often undiagnosed condition. A multidisciplinary team including pulmonologists, thoracic surgeons, radiologists, sleep specialists, rehabilitation specialists and digestive disease specialists work together to find a treatment plan that is best for each individual patient in our program. Our philosophy is to treat the disease medically first, and only operate on select patients who cannot find relief otherwise. Our goal is for patients to return to their active and healthy lives.
