In this article, we will explore the benefits, cost, procedure details, and highlight the expertise of our doctors.

What is the Ravitch Procedure?

The Ravitch Procedure, also known as the open chest wall repair, is a surgical technique developed by Dr. Donald Ravitch. It focuses on correcting chest wall deformities, such as pectus excavatum (sunken chest) or pectus carinatum (protruding chest), by reshaping and repositioning the sternum and ribs.

This procedure offers a permanent solution for individuals suffering from chest wall deformities by improving both their physical appearance and overall respiratory function.

Benefits of the Ravitch Procedure

The Ravitch Procedure provides numerous benefits to patients, including:

• Improved chest symmetry and appearance
• Enhanced self-confidence and body image
• Restored respiratory function and increased lung capacity
• Long-term durability
• Minimal scarring compared to alternative procedures
• Safe and effective results

Cost of the Ravitch Procedure

One of the common concerns among patients is the cost associated with the Ravitch Procedure. While prices may vary depending on individual cases and specific requirements, at EL Clinics, we strive to offer competitive and transparent pricing for all our services.
