“…WSCE using x-ray fluoroscopy has a number of limitations, including limited accuracy with a sensitivity of 78% and a positive predictive value of 62% [10], use of ionizing radiation (particularly relevant for younger patients), limited two-dimensional images, paucity of anatomical information and diminishing fluoroscopy capacity in the UK National Health Service (NHS) and North America, with associated decrease in fluoroscopic skills and interpretative expertise [12]. Unsurprisingly, therefore, some surgeons consider clinical assessment superior and sufficient, questioning the need for routine WSCE [10,11,13]. Where WSCE has been requested, presacral widening is a relatively frequent finding, with MRI or CT required to interrogate the cause.…”
