Introduction

Visceral (intestinal, uretheral) and vascular damage during intervertebral disk surgery is uncommon; therefore sometimes is excluded of informed consents; however those damages, are potentially life-threatening with high risk of mortality; hence, in spite of their rarity, anaesthetists and surgeons should be watchful since in case of showing up, early diagnosis is vitally important. Usually, patients who survived restore completely without sequels.

Clinical case

A clinical case of common right iliac artery and vein disruption during posterior L4-L5 discectomy is here discussed. The patient required two vascular interventions. After the surgeries the patient presented a postoperative lower extremity neurologic deficit due to a lumbosacral plexopathy from which she partially recovered during the following months.
