A 64-year-old gentleman presented with haemoglobin drop and an increase in fresh blood output in abdominal drain after anterior lumbar spinal fusion. Urgent re-exploration was performed, and injury to abdominal wall vessel during drain insertion leading to active bleeding was noted. Here, we report this rare case and summarize the characteristics of vasculature of abdominal wall, which may help reduce the possibility of this rare complication.
