Our research revealed that the AAA is notably absent in most cases (83.6%). When present, it most commonly originates from the posterior cecal artery (12.4%), followed by the descending branch of the ileocolic artery (2%), and the ileal branch of the ileocolic artery (0.7%). Instances of origin from the anterior cecal, common cecal, or the ileocolic trunk were even more infrequent. Based on our observations, we introduced a new simplified classification system.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The effect of an accessory artery on the process of appendicitis remains to be clarified.
