ABSTRACT
To identify the anatomical position of the appendix in patients presenting at the emergency surgical ward, Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar. This descriptive study was conducted in surgical 'A' Unit, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar from January to June 2008. Patients coming to emergency surgical ward were examined after detailed history and investigation; and then operated.
