Very happy with correction of my PE with Nuss titanium bar by Goldblatt. 32yr old female. Anaesthetics and pain relief by Dr Peter Dawson also excellent. No epidural - all IV. Walking on day 2. Discharged day 6. Very happy with the result do far. Good surgeon in Australia for adult pectus excavatum repairs.

I am really interested in getting this procedure done. I am 26 with PE. I live in Sydney, but might relocate to Melbourne.
Any information on the process of referral, approval, insurance, cost etc. would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you,
J.
