[Case Report: complication after surgical discectomy].
Lesions to retroperitoneal blood vessels are rare but serious complications of surgical discectomies. Through ventral perforation during laminectomy life-threatening bleedings may occur if arteries are injured. We present a patient with haemorrhagic shock after disc surgery. The complication could be treated adequately by immediate anaesthesiological and surgical intervention and the patient recovered completely.
