Dr Sunnapu. Umamaheswararao

Abstract :

 Aim of study : To study the morphological variations of ileocaecal region which includes caecum ,vermiform appendix &terminal ileum. Materials and methods :All the specimens were taken from embalmed cadavers after routine dissection for undergraduates in Government Medical College Ananthapuramu of Andhra Pradesh.Among 50 cadavers dissected ,we examined for shape of Caecum ,measurements of Caecum,site of entry of ileum into Caecum,measurements of Appendix & position of Appendix .Corresponding photographs were also taken. Results :Inall the cadavers shape of caecum is adult assymmetrical .Out of 35 male cadavers thelength was ranging from 54–65mm &eadth was ranging from 65–75 mm.In 15 female cadavers length was ranging from 50 –62mm , eadth was ranging from 65 –75mm.In all 50 (100%) adult specimens the ileum has opened posteromedialy into the caecum.Average length of appendix in males 77.2mm and average eadth is 12.42mm.In females average length is 69.33mm and eadth is 10.8mm.Most common position of appendix was retrocaecal and least common was pre& post ileal position. Conclusion :Positional variations ,morphological variations of caecum and appendix are very important for surgeons because while performing surgeries at ileocaecal region & for good prognosis.
