Peritonitis is defined as inflammation of the peritoneum (the serous membrane which lines part of the abdominal cavity and some of the viscera it contains). It may be localised or generalised, generally has an acute course, and may depend on either infection (often due to rupture of a hollow viscus) or on a non-infectious process. Peritonitis generally represents a surgical emergency

Not peritenitis but peritonitis, which is inflammation of the peritoneum, or the lining to the abdominal cavity. There are many causes including infection during surgery.

Peritonitis is a diseased or punctured stomach or abdominal wall and is extremely dangerous. Can be the result of a burst appendix and must be dealt with urgently as there is an extreme risk to life.

Peritonitis is significant swelling and infection of the tissues inside and surrounding the organs of the abdomen. It can be caused by conditions like a ruptured appendix, or perforated bowel. Other main causes include ascites, infection, tuberculosis or cancer.

Infection of the membrane that holds your guts in, and separates everything from your stomach muscle walls.
