Excerpt from Post-Operative Septic Peritonitis
In the mid-line is a linear incision 12 cm. In length, situated between the umbilicus and pubes. The lower angle of this is gap ing, but the upper part of the wound is united. On incising the wound, a purulent, sanguineous exudate is found between the skin and the deep muscles, and the muscle wherever exposed is very red. On cutting through the stitches which hold the abdominal walls together, small accumulations of pus are found about the sutures. These foci can be readily distinguished from the general purulent infiltration of the wound. On removing some of the sutures they are found to be covered with pus.
