Abstract
Aim of our present study was to observe variations of Position of vermiform appendix in local population primarily in adults. Totally 50 adult cadavers were dissected during last 3 years for under graduates in the Department of Anatomy, Government Medical College, Ananthapuramu, Andhra Pradesh. Length and Breadth, Extent of mesoappendix, Position of appendix and Arterial supply of appendix were studied. In our study most common position was retrocaecal, least common was preileal & post ileal position. Retrocaecal position was seen in 66%, pelvic position was in 26%, subcaecal in 4%, preileal 2%, postileal 2% and paracaecal position was not observed in any cadaver. In males average length of appendix was 77.20mm, breadth was 12.42mm, where as in females length was 69.33mm, breadth was 10.80mm.In 34% cases mesoappendix extended up till tip and in 66% cases mesoappendix failed to reach the tip of appendix. In 70% cases single appendicular artery was observed and in 30% cases two appendicular arteries were present. Morphological & positional variations of vermiform appendix is a very important information, to be remembered before planning or during any surgical procedures to prevent post-operative complications.
