Dan,

adnexum is neutrum not masculine, of which the plural is adnexa.

The masculine would be adnexus, of which the plural would be adnexi.

I don't remember much of my Latin class, other than that both teachers I had have died already, so I can't embarrass them, only myself, but since google is my friend I found (remembered) that I even posses a formal qualification in Latin, the Examen Latinum which you can look up in http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1219645

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
