This should be done in the verticaland horizontal positions. Occasionally theTrendelenburg position is necessary to re-lease a pelvic cecum which might be in-carcerated or possibly adherent. By proper manipulation an otherwisehidden appendix can be shown; also itsmovability and relationship to the sur-rounding structures can be noted. Theplate method should also be used, for itoccasionally gives additional stereoscopic plates are indicatedwhereby one can trace a retrocecal ap-pendix or an appendix in close proximityto the cecum or ileum. It is necessary that the lumen of the ap-pendix be patent. The appendix may notbe demonstrated if its lumen is obliteratedo
