Emergency interventions must be performed as soon as possible in order to prevent the development of Peritonitis

Peritonitis is a serious condition that starts in the abdomen. That's the area of the body between the chest and the pelvis. Peritonitis happens when the thin layer of tissue inside the abdomen becomes inflamed. The tissue layer is called the peritoneum. Peritonitis usually happens due to an infection from bacteria or fungi.

•Secondary peritonitis. Peritonitis can happen due to a hole, also called a rupture, inside an organ in the abdomen. Or it can be caused by other health conditions.

●Symptoms of peritonitis include:

•Belly pain or tenderness.

•Bloating or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen.

•Fever.

•Upset stomach and vomiting.
