These patients were reviewed with Gross, patients’ age, sex, and histopathological reports. Results: A total of 144 specimens were analyzed 80 (55.56%) were males and 64 (44.44%) were females. M:F ratio 1.25:1. Histopathological examination showed healing appendicitis was the most common finding (44.46%) followed by acute appendicitis (35.42%), Recurrent appendicitis 6 (4.17%), Acute appendicitis with periappendicitis 5 (3.47%), Acute suppurative appendicitis 12 (8.33%), Enterobius vermicularis (Parasitic) 1 (0.69%), Tubercular pathology 1 (0.69%), Gangrenous appendicitis 2 (1.39%), Appendicular endometrosis 1(0.69%). Conclusion: There is a higher incidence of appendicitis between 31 to 40 years.
