A \u2018Single Artery\u2019 supplied the appendix in 69.68% of cases, with the ileocolic artery being the primary origin (62.03%). Acute appendicitis is more common in younger patients, whereas chronic appendicitis is prevalent among older individuals. Significant associations were observed between mesoappendix extension and arterial origin (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001) as well as between age and appendicitis type (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.034).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights the anatomical and clinical variabilities of the mesoappendix and appendicular arteries.
