Abstract
The available literature on tuberculous peritonitis has been reviewed.
Tuberculous peritonitis treatment is not medical nor surgical but is a combination
of both.
The only article available on the treatment of tuberculous peritonitis by closed ether
anesthesia has been reviewed.
Comment has been made as to the possible explanation of the therapeutic action of
ether anesthesia in tuberculous peritonitis.
From experiences in this hospital, as indicated by case reports and by the writings
of Savage, of Cincinnati, it appears ether anesthesia is a valuable adjunct in the
treatment of tuberculous peritonitis.
The postoperative condition of patients who have been operated upon under spinal anesthesia
and gas anesthesias, which do not produce anoxemia, should be studied.
