Overview
Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum (a serosal membrane which lines the inner wall of the abdominal cavity and covers most of the abdominal organs) from any cause.
Definition
Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum (a tissue that lines the inner wall of the abdominal cavity and covers most of the abdominal organs) from any cause.[1] Contrast to peritonitis, Intrabdominal infection is defined as the inflammation of peritoneum due to infectious cause.[1]
