Aus Dornheim Anatomy
The kidneys are partially obscured by these colonic segments due to the zones of attachment of the ascending and descending colon to the posterior wall of the peritoneal cavity. The right and left colonic flexures are close to the left and right kidneys because of their retroperitoneal location, but are spatially separated because of the intervening capsula adiposa.
