What is Transperitoneal spread?
In transperitoneal spread, disease commonly penetrates through the peritoneal layer and disseminates into the peritoneal cavity. Sub- peritoneal spread occurs when disease pro- cesses spread along the subperitoneal space of the peritoneal ligaments between the two layers of the peritoneum.
