ABSTRACT
Rigid bronchoscopy (RB) is one of the oldest bronchoscopic techniques.

However, the fact of prosperous“rigid hot”in China has appeared in the field of interventional pulmonology in recent years, which confused some pulmonologists-why does RB become hot in the field of interventional pulmonology domestically? what is the practical value of RB in the endoscopic procedures of modern respiratory diseases? how about the developing trend and application prospects of RB in future?
