Fig. 1 Recommendation for radical appendectomy or right colectomy in five histological types of appendiceal cancer. Poorly differentiated includes signet ring cells. (DPAM = disseminated peritoneal adenomucinosis, PMCA = peritoneal mucinous adenocarcinoma, HIPEC = hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) (From Reference 8 with permission).

Fig. 2 Diagram showing caecum and a perforated appendiceal mucinous neoplasm. indicating structures to be resected with the radical appendectomy procedure. The parietal peritoneum, appendiceal artery and adjacent lymph nodes, and possibly the caecum are resected. Visceral peritoneum is inspected but remains intact except for the ligament of Treves which is resected. Omental appendages on the distal ascending colon may be cleared taking care to avoid damage to the anterior caecal vessels.
