Increasing rigidity and tenderness indicates an increased likelihood of perforation and peritonitis.
Peritonitis
The purpose of perforation depending on what one is talking about. In the case of oil well, the purpose of perforation is to allow the oil or gas to flow more easily to the wellbore to get it out of the ground.
Treatment for free air in the abdomen, known as pneumoperitoneum, depends on the underlying cause. In cases of perforated viscera (e.g., perforated ulcer or bowel), surgical intervention is often necessary to repair the perforation and address the source of the air. Supportive measures may include antibiotics, bowel rest, and close monitoring for signs of sepsis or peritonitis.
Peritonitis, pleurisy, and pericarditis are conditions in which there is some type of inflammation. Peritonitis involves an inflammation of the peritoneum, and with pleurisy the lung membrane called the pleura becomes inflamed. Pericarditis is the swelling of the pericardium, a sac that is around the heart.
A serious complication of a ruptured appendix is peritonitis, which is inflammation of the lining of the abdominal cavity. This can lead to severe infection, sepsis, and potentially life-threatening complications if not treated promptly with surgery and antibiotics.
Peritonitis.
in localised or generalised peritonitis (caused by perforation of the bowel secondary to cancer or diverticulitis)
Peritonitis can be caused by bacterial or fungal infections, perforation of the bowel, ruptured appendix, pancreatitis, or liver disease. Other causes include certain medical procedures, such as peritoneal dialysis or abdominal surgery.
Primary peritonitis is an infection of the peritoneum without an evident underlying cause, usually caused by bacteria entering the abdomen through the bloodstream. Secondary peritonitis is caused by an underlying intra-abdominal condition, such as a perforation in the gastrointestinal tract, that leads to contamination of the peritoneal cavity with bacteria from the gut.
A delay can result in perforation, or rupture, of the appendix. When this happens, the infected contents of the appendix spill into the abdomen, potentially causing a serious infection of the abdomen called peritonitis.
If there is pus due to perforation, this will cause left-sided peritonitis. In this situation, we give :1st, IV antibiotics & make sure he is NPOthen, immediately send him for surgery (Hartmann's procedure)after ~6 weeks (after eradicating the infection), we re-anastomose the proximal and the distal parts of his bowel
Tuberculosis peritonitis causes ascites.

You get peritonitis, once the appendix get burst.
Peritonitis is an inflammation of the peritoneum. The main manifestations of peritonitis are acute abdominal pain, abdominal tenderness, and abdominal guarding.
