I did not see the post to which you refer, but the urologists, if they know
they do not have to explore the abdomen, will often use a flank incision and
a retroperitoneal approach to the kidney. Not really in the back, but at the
costovertebral angle, where the lower ribs, join the spine. Avoiding entry
into the peritoneal cavity decreases the chance of peritonitis, post-op
ileus, and gives a generally faster recovery. Ron
Women have their faults. Men have only two.
Everything they say. Everything they do.
