This is a study of the positions of the appendix in 548 Nigerians 447 of whom were autopsies or cadavers while the rest (101) were appendicectomy patients. Overall, the retrocaecal appendix was the commonest because of its very high frequency in the surgical material. The pelvic appendix as distinct from the retrocaecal or retrocolic was the commonest in the nonsurgical cases and it also had an increasing frequency with age. When previous reports were reviewed, the retrocaecal position was moderately infrequent in blacks compared to causasians.
这是一项对548名尼日利亚人阑尾位置的研究，其中447人是尸体解剖或尸体，其余101人是阑尾切除患者。总体而言，盲肠后阑尾是最常见的，因为它在手术材料中的出现频率非常高。与盲肠后或结肠后阑尾不同的盆腔阑尾在非手术病例中是最常见的，并且其出现频率也随着年龄的增长而增加。当回顾以前的报告时，与白种人相比，黑人的盲肠后位置相对不常见。
