Abstract
Let be an unknot in -bridge position in the -sphere. We give an example of a pair of weak reducing disks and for such that both disks obtained from () by a surgery along any outermost disk in , cut off by an outermost arc of in , are not weak reducing disks, i.e. the property of weak reducibility of compressing disks is not preserved by a disk surgery.
