In June this year, Dr. Ricardo Guijarro, together with Dr. Eva García and the rest of the team of the Thoracic Surgery Service of the Consorcio Hospital General Universitario de Valencia, successfully performed a Pectus Up intervention on a 17 year-old patient suffering from Pectus Excavatum.
Dr. Ricardo Guijarro is a renowed thoracic surgeon, professor, researcher and author of several publications in specialist journals in thoracic surgery. He is also known for being as a pioneer in robotic surgery in the Valencia region.
Guijarro is also an international reference in the treatment of Pectus Excavatum, also known as sunken chest, with the minimally invasive Pectus Up technique, and for his commitment to offering his patients innovative treatments with maximum benefits and minimum risks.
The Pectus Up technique significantly reduces the patient’s pain, allowing them to quickly resume their daily activities quickly and improve their quality of life. Among other benefits, the Pectus Up procedure is associated with less pain, shorter hospital stays and fewer serious complications.
This type of surgery represents a technological advance that Ventura Medical Technologies has achieved thanks to the invaluable collaboration of surgeons who are experts in the field and committed to medical innovation. The continuous improvement of the Pectus Up intervention is another step forward in the evolutionary history of Pectus Excavatum surgery.
