Abstract
1. 1. Local peritonitis was produced in fourteen dogs by ligating the blind end of the cecum and interrupting the blood supply. Penicillin was given postoperatively. Intraperitoneal drip of physiologic saline solution, 5 per cent glucose in saline or 5 per cent glucose in distilled water was administered after the operation on three successive days. 2. 2. The local peritonitis did not create a mechanical obstacle to the drip. 3. 3. Neither the local nor the general condition of the dogs was aggravated by the intraperitoneal drip. 4. 4. The results suggest that postoperative intraperitoneal drip is not contraindicated in presence of local infectious processes within the peritoneal cavity.
