kylkiluustason

Kylkiluustason refers to the anatomical region corresponding to the level of the ribs. In medical contexts, it is often used to describe the location of structures or procedures relative to the rib cage. For example, an injury might be described as being at the kylkiluustason, or a surgical incision might be planned for this level. This term helps to precisely pinpoint a location within the thoracic cavity or on the chest wall. Understanding the kylkiluustason is crucial for diagnosis, treatment, and anatomical reference. It encompasses the area between the upper and lower borders of the ribs, including the intercostal spaces.
