This is a gross photograph of the open abdominal cavity of a patient with acute appendicitis. In this patient, there had been rupture of the appendix with spillage of intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity. This spillage resulted in an acute abdomen with widespread inflammation throughout the abdominal cavity. Note the roughened surface of the mesenteric tissue (arrow) due to deposition of fibrin over much of the surface.
