The authors have observed on two occasions, a diffuse peritoneal syndrome in the post-operative period after right hemi-colectomy for Crohn's disease, and interpret, in the absence of complications at the level of the anastomosis, as peritonitis due to septic lymphorrhea. According to them, it does not seem that this syndrome has the same significance as that described following appendicectomy in children.
