Abstract: We construct a hyperbolic 3-manifold $M$ (with $partialM$ totally geodesic) which contains no essential closed surfaces, but for any even integer $g>0$ there are infinitely many separating slopes $r$ on $partialM$ so that $M[r]$, the 3-manifold obtained by attaching 2-handle to $M$ along $r$, contains an essential separating closed surface of genus $g$ and is still hyperbolic. The result contrasts sharply with those known finiteness results for the cases $g=0,1$. Our 3-manifold $M$ is the complement of a simple small knot in a handlebody.
