ENTERING ON A CREATIVE AND ENTERPRISING PROJECT, DRS. DIZEREGA and
Rodgers have taken an innovative look at the peritoneum. They have
provided an interesting, informative, and stimulating text about an
organ that is rarely considered independently-usually being thought
of only as a part of other organs or organ systems. The peritoneum
is an active membrane that serves as both a secretory organ and a
structure that modulates diffusion and osmosis. Both of these
important functions are described in great detail. The text is
divided in classic fashion. The authors first examine the
peritoneal anatomy from both macro and cellular viewpoints, during
which exploration it becomes clear that what appears simply to be a
lacy covering over abdominal organs actually is a complex
structure. Fur thermore, during the discussion on its embryologic
development the au thors make comprehensible the complexity
confronting the student of the peritoneum. The authors then proceed
to the practicalities associated with this im portant organ. To
surgeons, for example, the key to the peritoneum is understanding
the organ's repair mechanism, as it is adhesions formed on the
peritoneal surfaces that interfere with the surgeon's hope of
success."
