Pectus Excavatum (PE), known as sunken or funnel chest, is a congenital deformity that can cause body image issues, exercise difficulties, and other health problems for kids, especially teens and young adults. To address these problems, the doctors at Stony Brook Medicine's #Cardiothoracic and #Pediatric Surgery divisions have established a specialized Chest Wall Clinic. This clinic provides a dedicated space for PE patients and their families to meet with surgeons, develop a personalized treatment plan, schedule necessary preoperative tests, and establish a follow-up system for post-operative recovery. #DidYouKnow that our surgeons are currently the only ones to offer the Nuss Procedure with cryoablation in #SuffolkCounty? This innovative procedure combines advanced techniques to treat PE effectively. Learn more below. #WeAreStonyBrookMedicine https://lnkd.in/e4FkqwuP
