Successful performance of the first Pectus Up procedure in Peru, an important medical milestone for patients suffering from pectus exacavatum in the country.
Dr. Carlos Alberto Fernández Crisosto, eminent in thoracic and cardiovascular surgery with vast experience in the treatment of thoracic malformations, has joined forces on this occasion with Dr. Patricio Herrera, the surgeon with the greatest experience in the Pectus Up® technique on the American continent.
These new interventions consolidate Herrera’s work in the training of more American surgeons who are referents in the treatment of the sunken chest by means of this novel extrathoracic technique.
Crisosto, who has treated numerous cases of Pectus Excavatum with different techniques, including the Nuss and Ravitch techniques, becomes the first surgeon in Peru to specialise in Pectus Up. This innovative technique allows patients with varying degrees of asymmetry and sternal sagging to regain a correct chest shape, with a return to normal life in a short time and with little or no pain.
Both Crisosto and Herrera are widely recognised in the field of thoracic surgery and in the treatment of Pectus Excavatum, and the sharing of their experience and expertise demonstrates their commitment and professionalism in providing their patients with the best solution for their thoracic malformation.
Dr. Crisosto’s adoption of cutting-edge technologies in thoracic surgery, such as the Pectus Up, demonstrates his ability to provide high quality medical care and to be at the forefront of innovation in the field of healthcare.
With the introduction of this technique, Peruvian patients with Pectus Excavatum are opened to a wider availability of treatment options, giving them hope and a better quality of life.
