Peritonitis
Your peritoneum is the tissue that lines your abdominal wall and covers most of the organs in your abdomen. A liquid, peritoneal fluid, lubricates the surface of this tissue.
Disorders of the peritoneum are not common. They include:
- Peritonitis - an inflammation of the peritoneum
- Cancer
- Complications from peritoneal dialysis
Your doctor may use imaging tests or lab tests to analyze the peritoneal fluid to diagnose the problem. Treatment of peritoneal disorders depends on the cause.

PERITONITIS
If surgical interference is not deemed advisable, combat pain and inflammation with calomel and opium; apply turpentine stupes for relief of tympanites; Glyceroplasma is often useful for its depletant action; if no obstruction or perforation exists, salines are often useful, for their depleting and refrigerant action; injection of asafetida or of turpentine emulsion may relieve tympanites.2

PUERPERAL FEVER
Irrigate the uterine cavity thoroughly with mercuric chloride solution (1:2000); if necessary employ curette (with caution) to remove decomposing substances; touch ulcerated spots in vagina with solu tion ol silver nitrate, 10 per cent. Sustain the patient, giving alco— holic stimulants freely; treat complication of peritonitis on general principles; if infection extends to bladder, irrigate well with strong solution of boric acid, or with corrosive sublimate, 1:8000.2
