Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the length and attachment of the mesoappendix, as well as the origin of the appendicular artery, impact inflammation, tumor spread, and surgical outcomes related to appendectomy.
- Out of 60 appendix specimens analyzed, 76% displayed the full length of the mesoappendix, while the main appendicular artery was found to originate from the ileocolic artery in 80% of cases, with accessory arteries noted in 13%.
- Findings highlight significant variability in mesoappendix length and appendicular artery patterns among individuals, emphasizing the need for surgeons to consider these differences during appendix surgeries.

This study was performed as detailed exploration of the functional perspectives of such communicating branches would further enhance the scope of these procedures.
