The two major causes of postoperative wound evisceration are as follows,
- Post-surgery wound stress, which might involve something as simple as a cough or sneeze
- Certain sutures may disintegrate too quickly, causing the wound to open.
- The type of closure employed, may or may not have been beneficial for the incision.
What is evisceration?
Evisceration is a rare but serious surgical complication in which the surgical incision opens and the abdominal organs protrude or come out. Evisceration is a medical emergency that must be treated as such.
- It can range from mild to severe, with the organs exposed and slightly protruding outside of the incision.
- Intestines, for example, may leak from an abdominal incision.
- This is usually considered a medical emergency.
- If you notice tissue or organs emerging from a surgical site, call your doctor.
- It is critical to keep the wound wet. Cover the opening and organs with a wet, sterile bandage or sheet while on your route to seek medical help or while waiting for EMS.
