AB Evisceration  of  abdominal  contents  usually  occurs  after  a  stab  or  slash  wound  to  the  abdomen  or  after  recent  laparotomy.  It  is  an  indication  for  laparotomy.  Other  indications  for  laparotomy  in  penetrating  abdominal  trauma  include  unexplained  shock  and  evidence  of  blood  in  the  stomach,  bladder,  or  rectum.
