It is generally secondary to perforation of a hollow digestive organ or to the spread of an intra-abdominal septic focus. It may be generalised or localised. Acute generalised peritonitis accounts for a large proportion of abdominal emergencies. According to Clément et al, it is a global health problem, with a mortality rate of up to 20%. In 2020, Tochie et al. reported a worldwide prevalence of 0.93%, with mortality ranging from 8.4% to 34%, depending on the country and the aetiology. According to the Hamburg classification, peritonitis can be primary, secondary or tertiary. Secondary peritonitis is the most common, accounting for 98% of peritonitis and 7% of abdominal pain syndromes. It may occur following abdominal trauma, contusion or abdominal wounds, perendoscopic perforation or the presence of an intra-abdominal foreign body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46378592829591,"sku":"9786208024031","price":5652.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9786208024031.webp?v=1768764363","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/post-traumatic-peritonitis-9786208024031","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
