Sterile abdominal surgery, under normal circumstances, causes localised or minimal generalised peritonitis, which may leave behind a foreign body reaction or fibrotic adhesions. However, peritonitis may also be caused by the rare case of a sterile foreign body inadvertently left in the abdomen after surgery (e.g., gauze, sponge).
Tertiary peritonitis (also known as recurrent peritonitis) is the inflammation of the peritoneum which persists for 48 hours after a surgery that has been successfully carried out in adequate surgical conditions.

Lack of treatment or misdiagnosis could quickly lead to sepsis, septic shock, and death. Patients who develop peritonitis may get localized abscesses in the right or left subphrenic space. The right side is more common due to the high frequency of ruptured appendices and perforated duodenal ulcers.
