Commonest anatomical site of appendix is:
- a- Paraceacal
- b- Retroceacal***
- c- Illeal
- d- Pelvic.
The commonest anatomical site of the appendix is retrocecal.
The appendix is a small, finger-shaped organ that projects from the cecum, the first part of the large intestine. It is typically located in the lower right quadrant of the abdomen.
The appendix can vary in its position, but the retrocecal position is the most common. This means that the appendix is located behind the cecum.
Other possible positions of the appendix include:
- Paracecal:
The appendix is located next to the cecum.
- Iliac:
The appendix is located in the iliac fossa, a region in the lower abdomen.
- Pelvic:
The appendix is located in the pelvis.
The position of the appendix can be important to know in the diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis, an inflammation of the appendix.
