Abstract
- Conventional surgery for lower lumbar disc herniation is a common practice and its vascular complications have been reported rarely. If the hypotension is severe or prolonged postoperatively, one should suspect vascular injury and perform urgent laparotomy. We experienced two cases of major vascular injuries following hemi-laminectomy and discectomy.
