This study aimed to determine the change in anatomical location of appendix in full-term pregnancy.
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study.
Liaquat National University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, Department of General Surgery, January 01 to July 31, 2010.
Full-term pregnant women undergoing caesarean section were enrolled. The anatomical position of the appendix was noted by visual inspection with reference to the transtubercular plane (TTP). SPSS-10 was used for analysis.
Seventy-seven full-term pregnant female patients who underwent caesarean section were included in the study. Their mean age was 29 years, the mean height was 5.3 feet, and mean gestational age was 38 weeks. Appendix was found at the normal anatomical location in 63 out of 77 patients (81.8%), while it was located above the TTP in 14 patients (18.2%).
Appendix does not migrate up with increasing gestational age in the majority of pregnant women. In most full-term pregnant female patients, appendix is located at the normal anatomical position.
本研究旨在确定足月妊娠时阑尾解剖位置的变化。
这是一项描述性横断面研究。
巴基斯坦卡拉奇利亚卡特国立大学医院普通外科，2010年1月1日至7月31日。
纳入行剖宫产的足月孕妇。通过参照耻骨结节平面（TTP）目视检查记录阑尾的解剖位置。使用SPSS - 10进行分析。
77例行剖宫产的足月妊娠女性患者纳入研究。她们的平均年龄为29岁，平均身高为5.3英尺，平均孕周为38周。77例患者中有63例（81.8%）阑尾位于正常解剖位置，14例（18.2%）阑尾位于耻骨结节平面上方。
大多数孕妇的阑尾不会随着孕周增加而上移。在大多数足月妊娠女性患者中，阑尾位于正常解剖位置。
