Appendectomy: 20

The peritoneum is opened a short distance in the line of the incision. The peritoneal incision does not need to be as long as the skin incision because the peritoneum easily stretches. The shorter cut makes closure easier.

The appendiceal artery is the terminal branch of the ileocolic and runs beneath the terminal ileum in the veil of appendiceal mesentery. Note the antemesenteric crest of fat (crista galli/cocks comb) on the terminal ileum which helps identify TI in the small appendectomy incision.
