Abstract

In treatment of peritonitis drainage of the peritoneal cavity, abdominal wall, and intestinal lumen, may be carried out. Attention is directed to the value of the third type which may prevent the establishment of ileus and a fatal outcome, if performed early after perforation. The effect of tension upon the intestinal capillaries is contrasted with that of pressure on the somatic capillaries. A small series of unselected cases in which enterostomy was added to appendectomy is summarized.
