Abstract EN
Postoperative surgical site infections (SSIs) are more common complications after spinal surgery.
SSIs often require extended hospitalisation and may worsen overall clinical outcomes.
A retrospective database review of consecutive patients with traditional open lumbar spinal surgery was performed.
SSIs patients were identified and reviewed for clinically relevant details, and postoperative SSIs’ incidence was calculated for the entire cohort as well as for subgroups with or without spinal implants.
In 15 years, 1,176 patients underwent open lumbar spinal surgery with spinal implants and 699 without.
Thirty-eight developed postoperative SSIs.
Total SSI rate for the entire group was 2.03%.
The incidence of postoperative SSIs in the nonimplant group was relatively low.
Patients received antibiotics, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and wet dressing.
We provided the precise rates of postoperative SSIs in traditional open spinal surgery obtained from a single-centre data.
Patients with spinal implants had higher SSIs’ incidence than those without.
