[4,5] Therefore, the study of pre and post-operative continuous peritoneal lavage with antibiotic solution deserves further clinical trial to establish its role as an adjunctive lifesaving measure in
diffuse peritonitis. It has been advocated that morbidity and mortality associated with peritonitis can further be reduced if irrigation of peritoneal cavity is continued in pre and post-operative phase using antibiotic thereby removing the debris, bacteria and other noxious agents and directly attacking bacteria which is not possible to achieve by systemic administration safely.
