ABSTRACT
Objective To access the development of thoracic volume of pectus excavatum use of Nuss operation used CT-basedpulmonary volumetric evaluation.Methods 98 patients with pectus excavatum in Beijing Children's Hospital under Nuss operation were documented.All patients had CT scan pre-and postopration.The CT-scan's data were calculated as lung's volume by handdraw-layers summation method.The lung's volume result was compared,and enquiry the position in CT lung volume developmental scale.Results The lung's volume was elevated 28.3% after operation.The development of thoracic volume was keep with age,70% was maintained and 15% was elevated.Conclusion Nuss operation can prevent the decrease of thoracic volume in pectus excavatum.
