Evaluation of radiologists’ accuracy and interrater reliability when interpreting CT scans after ventral hernia repair
Radiologists demonstrated limited ability to accurately interpret post-VHR CT scans, even after targeted instruction. These diagnostic challenges mirror findings among abdominal wall reconstruction surgeons, suggesting inherent limitations in CT-based assessment rather than discipline-specific deficits. Multidisciplinary collaboration, standardized operative documentation, and dedicated abdominal wall imaging protocol and training are essential to improve diagnostic accuracy and optimize surgical planning.
