An S-shaped incision starting from tip of 12th rib curving over the middle of iliac crest extended over the gluteal region and ended just above the greater trochanter (Figure-1C). The retroperitoneal portion was well capsulated (Figure-1D) but gluteal portion invaded into the muscle irregularly, inferiorly it was on close proximity of the left acetabulum but did not break the articular cartilage.
