Typhoid peritonitis is the most common type of peritonitis in the Bahawalpur area. Previously surgical management was haphazard and depended upon the choice of surgeon with high mortality and morbidity. The introduction of a new scoring system has not only helped the registrars and junior consultants in maintaining a uniform treatment policy but also decreased the mortality and morbidity to a considerable extent
