Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum, which is the membrane lining the abdominal cavity and covering the organs within it. Since the kidneys are located in the retroperitoneal space (behind the peritoneum), there is a lower risk of contamination with bacteria or other harmful substances during kidney surgery compared to stomach surgery, where the peritoneum is directly involved. Therefore, the statement is true.
