Abstract
Evisceration is a serious occurrence that produces high morbidity and mortality. The most frequent risk factors in our series were age greater than 65 years, hemodynamic instability, increased intra-abdominal pressure, emergency surgery, infection of the wound or abdominal wall, hypoproteinemia and anemia. Because these risk factors can be predicted, when several are grouped together, reinforcement should be used when closing the abdominal wall.
