Abstract
During lumbar disc hernia operations, large intra-abdominal injuries may develop, even though they are rare. Massive bleeding and hypotension are precursors of this complication, which often has a mortal prognosis. In this circumstance, emergent operation should be performed by laparotomy. We present a case in whom an abdominal aortic injury developed during lumbar disc surgery. (JAEM 2014; 13: 149-50)
