Pectus Up® was present at ESTS 2026, the 34th Annual Meeting of the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons, held from June 7 to 9, 2026 in Athens, Greece.
The congress brought together thoracic surgery specialists from around the world for three days of scientific exchange, training, and discussion on the latest advances in this field. For Pectus Up®, it was an excellent opportunity to connect with international surgeons, present the latest updates of the Pectus Up® system and reinforce our commitment to innovation in the treatment of pectus excavatum.
Presentation of the latest Pectus Up® developments
Throughout the congress, our team welcomed thoracic surgeons, pediatric surgeons, and chest wall deformity specialists interested in learning more about the Pectus Up® system.
Continuous device demonstrations allowed attendees to discover firsthand the system’s features, including the latest improvements incorporated into the device and the technical aspects of the surgical procedure.
Our team was also available to answer questions, exchange clinical experiences, and discuss the most recent developments aimed at optimizing the surgical technique and improving the experience for both surgeons and patients.
Scientific exchange and clinical experience
Participation in ESTS 2026 provided a valuable opportunity to share the evolution of Pectus Up® with international specialists and to discuss the role of minimally invasive and extrathoracic techniques in the correction of pectus excavatum.
One of the highlights of our presence was the participation of Dr. Calogero Porrello, who shared his experience with the Taulinoplasty + Mini-Ravitch approach. His presence at the Pectus Up® stand generated significant interest among attending surgeons, who had the opportunity to exchange insights directly with him regarding patient selection, surgical indications, and the latest refinements of the technique.
We were also pleased to have the presence of Dr. Joel Dunning, who shared his clinical experience and exchanged knowledge with other surgeons, contributing to the enrichment of the scientific discussion on the treatment of pectus excavatum.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Dr. Porrello and Dr. Dunning for their dedication, their active participation in the scientific exchange, and their valuable contribution to advancing the treatment of pectus excavatum.
Commitment to innovation in thoracic surgery
Pectus Up®’s presence at ESTS 2026 reflects our ongoing commitment to medical education, international collaboration, and the development of new technologies applied to chest wall surgery.
We would like to thank all the professionals who visited our stand, attended the demonstrations, and shared their time, questions, and knowledge with our team.
We continue working to bring Pectus Up® closer to more specialists and patients around the world.
Thank you, Athens. See you at future international meetings.
