Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Major abdominal vascular injury is a seldom serious complication during lumbar discectomy. Once occurring, it wil cause critical condition, and incorrect rescue and operation wil lead to patient’s death or functional disorder of the limbs. ＜br> OBJECTIVE:To explore the cause, diagnosis, prevention and treatment action for major abdominal vascular injury caused by lumbar discectomy. ＜br> METHODS:One case of common iliac artery injury caused by lumbar discectomy was reviewed in the aspects of diagnosis, prevention and treatment action. ＜br> RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The case suffered from common iliac artery injury caused by lumbar discectomy of right L 4-5 vertebrae, and achieved successful rescue by timely diagnosis, surgical intervention and artificial blood vessel transplantation. Injury of the vessels is relevant with many factors, including surgical operation, anatomy, pathology, etc. Unexplained intervertebral hemorrhage accompanied with sudden drop of blood pressure during surgery hints the possible occurrence of major vascular injury. Accurate diagnosis and instant surgical intervention is the key to rescue the patient’s life.
