Abstract
The particular structure of the peritoneum provides its membranes with the pecuHar possibility to secrete, absorb and filtrate, and gives them antibacterial, plastic and supporting properties. Therefore, we believe that it can be useful to recollect some physiological or physiopathological elements for a better evaluation of the mechanisms underlying generation, blockade and diffusion of the pathological processes affecting the peritoneal leaflets, the subperitoneal spaces, and the intraperitoneal organs.
