ABSTRACT
The insertion of wires in the preventive and curative treatment of abdominal evisceration is a variety of atraumatic open full-thickness sutures which are easy to carry out and particularly effective. In preventive treatment, they facilitate abdominal closure and avoid the risk of evisceration when large areas of skin are involved. In curative treatment, they form an abdominal "buckle" with the equal distribution of increased pressure over a large area, avoiding pulling on the sutures.
