A large laceration with protruding abdominal organs is called what?

Evisceration refers specifically to the displacement of internal organs through a wound, particularly when this occurs in the abdominal area. In the context of a large laceration where abdominal organs are visible protruding through the skin, evisceration accurately describes this condition. It indicates not only that there is a deep laceration but that vital structures are exposed, which necessitates immediate medical attention due to the risk of infection, further injury, and significant blood loss.

Other terms such as avulsion refer to the tearing away of skin or tissue, which does not specifically denote the exposure of abdominal organs. Protrusion is a more general term that does not have medical specificity and can refer to any bulging or sticking out of tissue but lacks the defined medical implications of evisceration. A contusion is a bruise, resulting from trauma that causes bleeding under the skin without breaking the skin itself, which does not apply to conditions involving exposed internal organs. Hence, evisceration is the term that aptly fits the description given in the question.
