A POSIÇÃO ANATÔMICA DO APÊNDICE INFLUENCIA EM SEU ACOMETIMENTO POR ENDOMETRIOSE INTESTINAL?
This study investigated whether the anatomical position of the appendix influences its involvement with intestinal endometriosis, hypothesizing pelvic appendixes might be more susceptible.

This study retrospectively analyzed operative records of 1,065 patients (Jan 2007–Jun 2023) to determine whether the anatomic position of the appendix in the abdominal cavity influenced appendiceal involvement by intestinal endometriosis, identifying 171 cases (16%) with endometriosis in the appendix and excluding 63 where procedure videos were unavailable. In 107 evaluated endometriosis cases, the appendix was most often pelvic (61.7%), followed by post-ileal (26.2%) and retrocecal (12.1%), and no appendix-removal complications were reported. In 109 comparator cases without appendiceal endometriosis, pelvic (56.3%) and retrocecal (23.5%) positions were also common, but retrocecal location showed a lower proportion of lesions and was reported as a protective factor (p = 0.017). This paper is centrally about endometriosis—specifically whether the appendix’s anatomic position (pelvic vs retrocecal vs others) is associated with intestinal endometriosis involvement of the appendix.
