    Does anyone know if there surgeons who specialize in hernia repair, including mesh removal, who are willing to review a pelvic MRI for for a reasonable cost?

    Thank you [USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER]. I am particularly interested in having a hernia expert review my MRI because it is possible (if not likely) that a radiologist might not see important subtleties indicative of an occult hernia that an experienced hernia surgeon can observe.

    Also, is there any benefit whatsoever to have the pelvic MRI (including with the Valsalva protocol on a 3T scanner) performed with contrast? What benefits, beyond detection of an occult hernia, can be achieved by performing an MRI with contrast immediately following the non-contrast MRI? Does the contrast increase the chances of detecting any complications related to the mesh implant — for example, movement or balling up of the mesh. Does the contrast increase the possibility of detecting any impact on any of the nerves, tissues, tendons or muscles caused by the original robotic inguinal hernia surgery or caused by the mesh implant?
