What can be a common cause of evisceration during surgery?

Improper suturing is indeed a common cause of evisceration during surgery. Evisceration refers to the displacement of internal organs outside of their normal cavity, typically through an incision. When sutures used to close a surgical wound are not placed correctly, or if they do not provide sufficient tension or support to hold the tissue together, the wound may open. This can happen if sutures are too loose, too far apart, or if the material used is inappropriate for the type of incision or the patient's tissue. Proper suturing technique is crucial to ensure that the tissue is adequately supported during the healing process, thereby preventing complications like evisceration, which can lead to severe morbidity, necessitating further surgical intervention.

While other factors, such as excessive hydration, inadequate pain management, and low blood pressure, can contribute to other surgical complications or affect a patient's overall stability and healing, they are not direct causes of evisceration in the context of surgical closure. Proper wound closure techniques remain a key focus when addressing the prevention of evisceration.
