Background: A surgical audit study among Batu Pahat population was conducted in determining the commonest position of appendix in post appendectomy.
Methodology: This is a retrospective study. A total of 204 cases of patients underwent an appendectomy admitted to the surgical ward from January 2017 until January 2018 at Hospital Sultanah Nora Ismail (HSNI) were audited retrospectively.
Introduction: Multiple tendons of the abductor pollicis longus (APL) in the anatomical snuffbox of the wrist can lead to the development of de Quervain's syndrome, which is caused by stenosing tenosynovitis. A cadaveric study was performed to establish the variations present in the tendons of the anatomical snuffbox in a Malaysian population, in the hope that this knowledge would aid clinical investigation and surgical treatment of de Quervain's tenosynovitis.
Methods: Routine dissection of ten upper limbs was performed to determine the variations in the tendons of the anatomical snuffbox of the wrist.
