A specialist told me my abdominal fascia is too thin to repair successfully, would a CT scan be able to confirm if this is true?

Answer: CT scan and tt A CT scan would not be that helpful with determining if your abdominal fascia is thick enough to favor a strong abdominal repair. An MRI may be more useful.

Answer: CT scan It might be helpful to know the basis for the suggestion that you have received. A CT might show the presence of a hernia or diastasis (separation of the rectus muscles) but I don't think it would be helpful in answering your question. A second opinion might be more helpful, and less pricey. All the best.
