Compare the description of the maneuver:
\"manovra di Giordano: con il palmo della mano si dànno dei piccoli colpi al fianco del paziente sdraiato sul letto; se il paziente prova una sensazione dolorosa, allora è verosimile la presenza di una colica (con rene dilatato). Si ha positività alla risposta anche in caso di pielonefrite acuta. \"
