| Core Tip |
Postoperative spine surgery wound infection has been reported up to 10.9%. Several factors have been identified as risk factors for surgical site infection. Staphylococcus aureus is the most commonly isolated bacterium. A new biomarker, presepsin, has been recently investigated as a possible indicator of infection, and an elevated level (> 300 pg/mL) could be used as a sign of surgical site infection. Using local as well as prolonged postoperative systemic antibiotics is recommended in certain groups of patients who have a higher risk of surgical site infection. |
