Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Abdominal Surgery

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal organ injuries, including vascular and solid organ damage, can occur during lumbar disc surgery.
  • These injuries necessitate adequate management to prevent poor or fatal outcomes.

Observation:

  • A case involving a severely obese female patient who sustained an aortic bite injury during L3/4 disc surgery.
  • This injury resulted in delayed intra-abdominal hemorrhage, requiring emergency abdominal surgery.
  • The patient subsequently experienced a major thromboembolic complication leading to limb amputation.

Findings:

  • Intraoperative diagnostic challenges and pitfalls in postoperative care associated with retroperitoneal injuries during lumbar surgery.
  • The critical need for neurosurgical and abdominal/vascular surgical cooperation in managing vascular injuries.

Implications:

  • Highlights the potential for severe complications from seemingly simple lumbar disc procedures.
  • Emphasizes the importance of vigilance, accurate diagnosis, and collaborative surgical management.
  • Underscores the medicolegal considerations in cases of surgical injury and subsequent complications.
