Aim Traumatic evisceration in politrauma patients is rare, with a prevalence of 1 in 40,000 trauma patients. The main mechanism is high-energy trauma to an acute surface. Our objective is to apply theoretical knowledge regarding the complex abdominal wall as an independent entity, analyzing the particular case of a patient operated in our center. Material and Methods Description of a clinical case using data extracted from the electronic medical record and bibliographic search in Pubmed. Results The reviewed literature was applied to a traumatic evisceration case with a Grade IV on the Dennis Abdominal Trauma Scale. The decisions made during the different stages in the multidisciplinary management of the traumatic evisceration were discussed. The role of Negative Pressure Therapy, the use of biological meshes, full thickness grafts and / or the Posterior Separation of Components were used to achieve a continent and functional abdomen after an injury of that magnitude during a 4-year follow-up with excellent results. Conclusions At the moment there is no consensus on the management of these traumatic evisceration situations. It depends in many cases on the experience of the surgeon. These cases should be treated individually based on the size and location of the lesions. The approach must be carried out in different stages, always thinking about achieving an early closure of the abdomen and preserving the anatomy of the abdominal wall. The best strategy for open abdomen reconstruction is not well defined, but we believe that Posterior Component Separation is a good option.
