        About the Department of Pulmonology at Clinic de Genolier Genolier

        The Department of Pulmonology at the Clinic de Genolier Genolier offers the full range of medical services for patients with respiratory diseases. The department's specialists also offer consultations for patients with breathing-related sleep disorders. The therapeutic options are complemented by pulmonological rehabilitation programs, which are developed on the basis of long clinical experience of the competent doctors. The Chief Physician of the department is Dr. med. Samir Lahzami.

        Since the key to the successful treatment is accurate diagnostics, the department has advanced medical equipment, which allows the doctors to promptly carry out the necessary diagnostic tests, including radiography, bronchoscopy, pulmonary diffusing capacity measurement, CT and PET scanning of the lungs, night polygraphy for sleep assessment.

        The X-ray methods help to effectively detect such diseases as pulmonary emphysema, pneumonia, bronchial asthma, etc. Bronchoscopy is performed under general anesthesia. This procedure is prescribed for suspected tuberculosis and malignancies. Bronchoscopy is also an effective method to extract a foreign body from the respiratory tract. Computed tomography serves to assess the treatment success in lung diseases, while positron emission tomography can detect lung malignancies at the initial stage.

        The treatment is provided using modern highly effective drugs. With appropriate indications, oxygen therapy or mechanical ventilation can be performed. The department's doctors also cooperate closely with the Department of Thoracic Surgery in order to provide each patient with the comprehensive treatment.
