CONTACT NOW Answer: Small defects and CAT scans If you have a small hernia or diastasis recti and the CAT scans were done for other reasons(trauma), the interpretation of the scan may not report it. Many of this small defect may be ignored by the report. This is why is important to look at the scan or talk to the radiologist. On the other hand, small but clinically significant hernias/diastasis may be diagnosed on physical examination. Best, Dr. RG

Answer: Weakened abdominal wall Yes, you could have a hernia or rectus diastasis that did not show up on your CT scan. Often times during a tummy tuck a small hernia and a rectus diastasis is identified which is typically repaired during the tummy tuck. Consult with a plastic surgeon for a thorough examination of your anatomy and to determine if you are a tummy tuck candidate.Best wishes,Dr.Bruno
