Background:Vermiform appendix is a part of the digestive tract which lies in right lower quadrant of abdomen. This study was conducted to assess the anatomical variations of vermiform appendix. Materials and Methods:100 cadavers were used in the current study (50 males and 50 females). A random selection process was used to choose study participants from cadavers. They belonged to diverse age and gender groups. Results: The findings showed that the appendix's anatomical placements were as follows: pelvic in 56 people, subcecal in 23 people, retroileal in 9 people, retrocecal in 7 people, ectopic in 04 people, and preileal in 1 people. For both sexes, the pelvic position was the most typical anatomical location. The positions of the subcecal, retroileal, retrocecal, ectopic, as well as preileal regions were as follows for both sexes. In the female population, there was no observed anatomical location for the preileal. Conclusion: There is no correlation between the physical position of the vermiform appendix and sex. The vermiform appendix was most frequently found in the front anatomical location. The majority of comparable reports from western nations disagree with it. The position of the vermiform appendix may be affected by a number of variables, including dietary preferences, geographic shifts, and race.
