Abstract

The patient with a hostile abdomen is a challenge, where the abdominal cavity is open, with the edges retracted, healed and compacted into a single block of fibrous tissue that does not allow its adequate dissection or separation, carrying a high risk of injury to the intestinal loops. and appearance of concomitant fistulas. The term catastrophic abdomen was used for the first time in 1937 by Abell I, describing a dramatic post-surgical condition, involving the presence of intestinal leakage in an open abdomen with severe adhesions, having a high associated mortality.
