In the nine-region scheme, which region lies at the far left of the middle row?

In the nine-region scheme, the abdomen is shown as a 3x3 grid with left and right sides aligned to the patient. The middle row houses the right lumbar region, the umbilical region, and the left lumbar region from left to right as you view the diagram. Because the diagram’s left side corresponds to the patient’s right side, the far left cell in the middle row is the right lumbar region. The left lumbar region sits at the far right of that row. So the region at the far left of the middle row is the Right Lumbar Region.
