Abstract
Increased intra-abdominal pressure is the primary factor in the etiology of evisceration
and avulsion of abdominal wounds. Other causes mentioned under etiology play only
a contributory part. Eight cases of evisceration are reported in all of which increased
intra-abdominal pressure was conspicuous. Prophylaxis entails a close observance of
the fundamentals of surgical technic and principles. The symptomatology and treatment
are presented.
