“…The extension of the mesoappendix is responsible for the vascularization of the vermiform appendix and severity during inflammation, as its failure to reach the tip of the appendix may lead to gangrene and hence early perforation during inflammation (10). The latest inclusion of the spread of appendiceal tumour in the mesoappendix and elective removal of mesoappendix during appendectomy, adds to the significance of our study (11). The same mesoappendix acts as a pathway where a window is created and the stump of appendix is clamped once or twice (depending on the thickness of mesoappendix) (12).…”

Objective: The length and the attachment of the mesoappendix is important in the degree of inflammation, spread of tumor and during surgical resection of the appendix. The presence of accessory appendicular artery along with varied origin of appendicular artery may cause intra- as well as post-operative complications. Hence, the study of length of mesoappendix and the origin and branching pattern of arterial supply to the appendix was undertaken. Material and Methods: Sixty formalin fixed appendix specimens were resected along with the intact mesopappendix and were dissected to analyze the extent of attachment, origin of appendicular arteries and the accessory branches as well. Results: The whole length mesoappendix was seen in 76% and the half length mesoappendix was not found. The main appendicular artery originated from the ileocolic artery in 80%, and accessory appendicular artery was seen in 13% of the study specimens. Conclusion: The mesoappendix and the branching pattern of the appendicular artery varies from person to person, and this awareness will be of use during surgeries on appendix.

“…Recently, the inclusion of the spread of appendiceal tumours in the mesoappendix and elective removal of mesoappendix during appendectomy, adds to the significance of studying its extent [3]. Moreover, it is the same mesoappendix which acts as a window for creating and clamping the stump during appendectomy [25,34].…”
