G. Skrekas MD - Lap appendectomy - Removal of a retrocecal vermiform appedix.

Dr. Γ. Σκρέκας MD posted: The sub-caecal position of the appendix, in which the appendix is found beneath the caput caeci, is present in 2-26 per cent. of the cases. The appendix lies on the iliac fossa and the peritoneal covering of that fossa alone
separates the organ from the iliacus muscle. The appendix with its mesentery, is twisted in a clockwise direction from left to right, and frequently its tip is directed upwards. Should an ileo-caecal fold be present, it may completely
cover the root of the appendix. The incidence of acute inflammation is three and five times as frequently in retrocecal and retroperitoneal appendices respectively as in so-called normally situated appendices.

THE POSITION OF THE VERMIFORM APPENDIX AS ASCERTAINED BY AN ANALYSIS OF 10,000 CASES BY CECIL P. G. WAKELEY, D.Sc., F.R.C.S., F.R.S.E. J Anat. 1933 January; 67(Pt 2): 277--283.
