A hypothetical small opening, larger map
A person assumes a small external opening means a small tract, while MRI describes an additional extension. This is a composite teaching example, not a real patient image or result.
How might the plan change?
Images and examination establish activity, any abscess needing drainage and muscle relationships. One report phrase cannot select an operation or justify inventing an undocumented opening.
What should the patient bring?
Original images, the report, procedure dates, symptoms and continence history. Mapping improves the question; it neither replaces assessment nor guarantees treatment success.
