(CNN) - Ruby Rose underwent emergency surgery after a serious injury left her at risk of becoming paralyzed, the actress and model on Instagram said.
The "Orange is the New Black" star documented the experience and, to the horror of some viewers, includes a graphic video of his surgery.
"To anyone who asks why I let them record it on video ... Didn't they see that episode of Grays anatomy where they left a towel inside a patient?" Rose joked in a message that accompanies the video. "I also wanted to see what happens when we go below."
Rose said herniated two discs occurred while performing stunts a couple of months ago. The injury was close to cutting the spinal cord, leaving her in "chronic pain" and unable to feel her arms.
This is not the first time Rose has undergone serious surgery. Last January, the actress revealed that she was in a wheelchair after undergoing a back procedure for her spine problems, according to People.
Rose will debut as "Batwoman" in the series The CW that opens on October 6.
