Welcome, @silversaw. What an ordeal. I'm hoping that @lisag03 has some experiences to share and possible recommendations for a second opinion. Since you're from Michigan, I'd also like to ask @hopeful33250 to offer her thoughts about second opinion for GI issues closer to home for you.

Silversaw, might Mayo Clinic, MN be an option for you?

Thanks for your reply and suggestions. Mayo Clinic is about a 12 hour drive from here, unless I can get some services by phone or ZOOM type things. This is a nice summer trip, if I can drive both to and from there. In other words would I be able to drive back home to Central Michigan after Tx?

Does anyone know about Colo-rectal perineal Hernia services at the Cleveland Clinic. That's only 6 hours from here. Do they also work by phone/email/Zoom? Most hernias in volve the abdomen, so one has to be sure to state this is a hernia involving the lower back usually in the area of the Anus and levator ani muscles post-surgery removal of cancer etc.

Thanks much for replies as Information about this type hernia is very scarce.
