Neither of the 2 illustrations on the top-right shows a "peritoneum". Maybe someone can find an illustration that does.
Is the Uterus an Intraperitoneal organ ? -- Hinook67 ( talk) 17:47, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
Why is only the human peritoneum discussed in this article? I want to know about the peritoneums of other animals. I want to know if all animals have it or if some do not. Also where are we going to put the thousands of additional pages about the anatomy of every other animal that has one?
This article should be discussing the topic in a general way, and the human-specific details can be moved to another article, such as Peritoneum (human).... DMahalko ( talk) 19:33, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or the coelom — it covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs — in higher vertebrates and some invertebrates (annelids, for instance).
The statement/implication that a peritoneum appears only in amniotes and invertebrates seems WAY off the wall to me. Not sure where that could have even come from. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.199.204.112 ( talk) 11:40, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
A discussion started on Wikproject medicine has noted that Duodenorenal ligament isn't independently notable and might be best merged here, something I support. Klbrain ( talk) 23:04, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
