The best age for pectus excavatum surgery is between 10 and 12 years old, says Nicholas Fiore, MD, a pediatric surgeon at Sunrise Hospital. Dr. Lyall Gorenstein, MD, Thoracic Surgery (Cardiothoracic Vascular), answered on behalf of Columbia University Department of Surgery. The ideal age for surgical treatment of pectus excavatum is between 12-18 years of age.
The average cost of pectus excavatum surgery alone costs around $15,000 to $45,000 without health insurance. Longer hospital stays could get close to the six figure mark. These costs will all depend on the severity of the case, the hospital, the inclusions with the bill, other appointments and if insurance is invovled.
