Overview

Despite the recent advances in treatment modalities, morbidity and mortality rates caused by peritonitis remain high.

Epidemiology and Demographics

Incidence

  • The incidence of secondary peritonitis can not be measured accurately as it occurs in the context of a wide spectrum of diseases and conditions.
  • At one study, the incidence of diffuse postoperative peritonitis was 25% in the surgical ICU especially in patients with multi-organ failure.[1]
