Pectus Excavatum: Ravitch Repair

Open repair for rigid, asymmetric or mixed chest deformity: deformed cartilage is removed and the breastbone repositioned with the modified Ravitch technique.

HIGHLIGHTS

What stands out in this treatment

Resection Tailored to the Deformity

Which rib cartilages to remove is set by CT measurements and examination, avoiding unnecessary tissue loss.

Perichondrium Preserved

Cartilage is removed while preserving its lining (perichondrium), from which new cartilage is expected to form.

Support Bar When Needed

The breastbone is fixed in its new position; when stability requires, a temporary support bar is added and later removed.

International Patient Support

Visa, airport transfer and accommodation are planned in one place; a medical interpreter joins every consultation.

Transparent, Guaranteed Pricing

A written quote follows once the scope of repair and stay are set; unless the plan changes, no extra costs appear.

Insurance & agreements

Transparent payment with contracted institutions and private insurers, at home and abroad.

Accommodation & rooms

Companion-friendly modern patient rooms and in-city accommodation support.

International patient services

Visa, airport transfer and 24/7 multilingual medical interpreters.

Transparent, guaranteed price

A quote prepared from your medical information; no extra charge for the treatments it covers.
