The appendix is usually located in the right lower quadrant of the abdomen, near the right hip bone.
Its position within the abdomen corresponds to a point on the surface known as McBurney's point .While the base of the appendix is at a fairly constant location, 2 cm below the ileocecal valve (at the junction of the small intestine (ileum) and the large intestine, the location of the tip of the appendix can vary from being retrocecal (behind the cecum) (74%) to being in the pelvis to being extraperitoneal (occurring or located outside the peritoneal cavity).
