Abstract

The peritoneum is the mesothelial lining of the peritoneal cavity and its contained viscera; it functions as a bidirectional dialysis membrane and thus plays a major role in defending against inflammatory processes of the abdomen. The peritoneum is the key organ involved in sensation of abdominal pain and is thus integral to diagnosing abdominal pathology.
