An evaluation of 105 cases of abdominal wound rupture is reported which represents 1.9% of a total of 5,552 laparotomies performed in children during the years 1960 to 1975. Most ruptures occurred in infants. Prior to other reasons, the frequency seems to depend on the original disease. 23% of the cases, predominantly newborns and infants, had a lethal course.
