    A 41-year-old man underwent surgery for treatment of an intervertebral disk hernia and received urethral catheterization at another hospital. After insertion of the catheter, intermittent urethral bleeding occurred. He was brought to our hospital by ambulance because of massive urethral bleeding and urethral pain on the day after the operation.
