The Exequiel González Cortés Hospital and the German Clinic lead the positioning of Pectus Up in Chile, as a treatment for the surgical correction of Pectus Excavatum

We celebrate the beginning of the year 2023 with a new case of treated Pectus Excavatum with the innovative surgical technique Pectus Up New Generation. On this occasion, the intervention was performed on a pediatric patient at the Exequiel González Cortés Hospital, in the city of Santiago, Chile, by two renowned surgeons.

The intervention was led by Dr. Patricio Herrera, pediatric surgeon at Hospital Dr. Exequiel González Cortés, and at the Clínica Alemana. Dr. Herrera is an international reference in Pectus Up, who has a long trajectory in the correction of chest wall malformations such as Pectus Excavatum, and contributes to training other surgeons in this important surgical technique in different regions of the country.

On this occasion, the procedure was assisted by the distinguished Dra. Alejandra Ovalle, specialized in pediatric surgery at the same hospital where the successful intervention was carried out.

The benefits offered by the Pectus Up New Generation are remarkable, and provide innovation in minimally invasive surgery techniques. It is an optimal technique for surgeons due to its simplicity and proven efficiency. It offers patients and their families the guarantee of little postoperative pain. That is why it has become a definitive solution to correct Pectus Excavatum in children and adult patients, of different types, including asymmetry.

Thanks to the innovative solution of the Pectus Up, no element is introduced into the thoracic cavity, which minimizes the risks and achieves a speedy recovery, thus opening up new perspectives for the corrective treatment of this malformation.

The company that makes it possible for the new procedure to reach hospitals in Chile is Pectus Chile, official distributor of the Pectus Up in the country.
