Our findings show that the mean length of the normal appendix is 81.11 mmÂ±28.44 (SD) (range, 7.2â158.8 mm). According to reports in the surgical literature the appendiceal length can vary from 20 to 200 mm, averaging 6â10 cm [48], [49], [50]. We showed no correlation between appendiceal length and age or body length.
