Pelvic mri for pain and complications following tvt bladder sling removal and infections revealed an enhancing .7 mm lesion in thecal sac of l4. what follow up is needed, if any?

7/10 of a MILLIMETER: Is very small. I am sorry you are having trouble after your surgery but this is probably not related. This lesion may need to be followed by another imaging study sometime in the future. The radiologist should be asked for a recommendation about that. Find an expert (urologynecologist or urologist) to help you with your immediate concerns.

Spinal Lesion Fol Up: If no known cancer then a pet/ct for cancer workup. If known cancer then mr spine surveillance every 3 to 6 months. The alternative is that it is something related to a disk but this is unlikely.
