Adalie's Story: Pectus Excavatum Surgery
Adalie began dancing when she was 4 years old and has loved it ever since. As she got older, Adalie developed a depression in her chest, and she began experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath that limited her dancing abilities. The family came to CHOC, where Dr. Mustafa Kabeer performed a unique surgery to correct Adalie’s pectus excavatum. Now, she’s back to ballet and dancing stronger than ever.
Dr. Kabeer is at the forefront of investigating new and innovative ways to treat patients, and he has been a leader in the research of surgical robotics.
