Medical / despiece | | Spanish term or phrase: flanco - costado - torax | 3-parter, part I
Finding it hard to delimit the pain here. Where does flanco end and costado begin. Also, is costado not in the thorax?
dolor en hipogastrio y flanco izquierdo de irradiación a costado izquierdo, no irradiación a tórax |

| | flank, lateral flank, thorax | Explanation:
MJ,
Flanco is "flank", each of the abdominal areas at both sides of the midline that goes from the sternum down to the pubis, but below each hypogastriums/hypogastria. Hypogastrium is the area right below each rib cage. The flanks are further down. Your patient has a pain that starts below the left hypogastrium and compromises also his left flank. Huypogastrium and flank are thus in the anterior or ventral plane.
"Costado" means "side", and thus it's the area beyond each flank, extending from each axillary region down to the legs. A "costado" of course may be that of the thorax or that of the abdomen. In your text I'd say "lateral flank".

For patients with upper tract transitional-cell carcinoma (TCC), nephroureterectomy with removal of a bladder cuff is the standard of care. Historically, it has been performed using two incisions or one large incision extending from the **lateral flank** to the symphysis pubis. We describe an alternative using endoscopic management of the bladder cuff combined with hand-assisted laparoscopic (HAL) nephroureterectomy.... |

Explanation:
the pain irradiates from the left epigastrium and the left flanc up to the low ribs (one hand breadth above the crista iliaca), but does not affect the thorax.
