Assoc. Prof. Hasan Ersöz MD, a Thoracic Surgery Specialist who has driven global recognition with his scarless and pain-free rib remodeling method “Ribella®”, will participate as an invited keynote speaker at the 2nd Global Chest Wall Surgery Conference (ICWSO) in China, July 2026.
IZMIR (2026) – Assoc. Prof. Hasan Ersöz MD, globally renowned for his patented techniques in the field of chest wall reconstruction and aesthetic thoracic modification, is preparing to represent pioneer medical innovation at one of the world’s most prestigious medical organizations.
Officially invited by the world-famous Chest Wall Surgery Specialist Prof. Dr. Wenlin Wang and the International Chest Wall Surgery Organization (ICWSO) Committee, Dr. Ersöz will be among the premier keynote speakers at the “Second Global Chest Wall Surgery Conference” and Global Training Program, held in Guangzhou, China, from July 15-18, 2026. Positioned at the very top of Professor Wang’s global invitation list, Dr. Ersöz will introduce a new era of thoracic engineering to the international medical community.
The World’s Most Extensive Cohort: 2-Year Follow-up of 63 Cases Revealed for the First Time
With the first case performed in July 2024, the Ribella® Procedure has successfully accumulated a cohort of 63 patients over 23 months. The initial official clinical data and long-term follow-up results of this extensive series will be unveiled for the first time to thoracic surgeons and medical authorities worldwide at this congress. The scientific presentation will demonstrate the superior safety standards of the thoracic surgery discipline in rib contouring and rib flare correction, backed by evidence-based medicine.
A Thoracic Surgery Innovation Distinct from General Plastic Surgery: Ribella®
Unlike traditional plastic surgery-based rib remodeling methods (such as RibXcar), Ribella® is a comprehensive, holistic treatment system engineered through the precise anatomical expertise of a thoracic surgeon. The procedure is globally recognized as the safest and most updated alternative due to three core technological pillars:
- Incisionless Needle-Puncture Protocol: Utilizing ultra-thin, specialized ultrasonic (piezotome) tips, the bone is precisely remodeled through micro-punctures without any skin incisions or surgical stitches. This reduces scarring, skin necrosis, and infection rates to near zero.
- Pain Elimination via Intercostal Cryoablation: Prior to reshaping, the intercostal nerves beneath the target ribs are temporarily frozen under real-time ultrasound guidance. This cuts off pain transmission entirely, allowing patients to experience a virtually pain-free recovery phase without relying on heavy narcotic medications.
- Anatomical and 3D Safety Boundaries: Performed exclusively by thoracic specialists who operate daily around vital intrathoracic organs, the procedure utilizes pre-operative 3D geometric simulations to ensure the natural respiratory volume and lung mechanics remain fully preserved.
This landmark presentation in Guangzhou will permanently register the Ribella® protocol as the gold standard of modern aesthetic thoracic modification in global medical literature.
