Fillers can be used to correct contour-defects. Due to the irregularities of defects, estimating the volume of filler required can be difficult. This frequently results in surgeons taking a step-wise approach to filler-injection, usually occurring over different appointments. Using a patient with pectus excavatum as an example, we provide a simple tip as to estimating the volume of filler required. In this case, normal saline was poured into the chest-wall defect until the adequate level was reached (from the lateral aspect), while noting how much liquid was used. The patient then had a comparable volume of filler injected.
填充物可用于矫正轮廓缺陷。由于缺陷的不规则性，估计所需的填充物量可能很困难。这通常导致外科医生采取逐步注射填充物的方法，通常在不同的预约中进行。我们以患有漏斗胸的患者为例，提供了一种简单的方法来估计所需的填充物量。在这种情况下，将生理盐水注入胸壁缺陷中，直到达到适当的水平（从侧面观察），同时注意使用了多少液体。然后给患者注射了相当体积的填充物。
