   • 1914, Transactions of the Section on Genito-Urinary Diseases of the American Medical Association, page 80:

     After opening the bladder (incision extending 1 inch pubically from peritoneal fold) the prostate was injected deeply with 1 per cent. cocain while the pericapsular region was injected with the 1 : 400 novocain solution.

使用する際の注意点

• Peritoneal (which concerns certain organs or matter inside the abdomen) is not to be confused with peroneal (which concerns the lower leg) or perineal (which concerns the skin between the genitals and anus); the words can sound somewhat similar, especially in rapid speech such as during a doctor's dictation.
