Trying to Get A Hernia Diagnosis
Sounds like a “hidden hernia.” I just presented my results on re value of Ultrasound vs CT vs MRI for hidden hernias and hopefully the journal will accept my manuscript. CTs are typically falsely negative. Ultrasound and MRI are much better options. Also, many films can be incorrectly interpreted anyway.
I would find a surgeon that would provide laparoscopic exploration and hernia repair.
If the ultrasound proves hernias, not sure why a CT scan is necessary.
