Surgeon challenging Radiologist’s CT scan

jzinckgra, I don’t think it is uncommon to have interpretive disagreements between radiology and doctors, I have personally encountered this as well and as a patient it can be very frustrating to be on the receiving end.

You might want to consider getting a second look at the images, and also find out if the surgeon themselves looks at the images. Many doctors go based on the written report alone which is fine in many cases but with some of the more obscure situations it may not be as helpful, particularly if you do not have the traditional palpable hernia bulge. Find a hernia expert if possible, or at least a doctor with a lot of experience with hernias.

I think Dr Towfigh of these forums used to offer an online consultation service where she would personally review images, perhaps that could offer some insight as well.
