Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence, prevalence, and analysis of risk factors for surgical site infection following adult spinal surgery
TL;DR: This study identified independent risk factors for both deep and superficial SSI, and identification of these risk factors should allow us to design protocols to decrease the risk of SSE in future patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the risk factors for the development of post-operative spinal epidural haematoma
TL;DR: Analysis of records of patients undergoing spinal surgery between 1984 and 2002 found that well-controlled anticoagulation and the use of drains were not associated with an increased risk of post-operative spinal epidural haematoma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional and radiographic outcome of sacroiliac arthrodesis for the disorders of the sacroiliac joint.
Jacob M. Buchowski,Khaled M. Kebaish,Vladimir Sinkov,David B. Cohen,Ann N. Sieber,John P. Kostuik +5 more
TL;DR: For carefully selected patients, sacroiliac arthrodesis appears to be a safe, well-tolerated, and successful procedure, leading to significant improvement in functional outcome and a high fusion rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The presentation, incidence, etiology, and treatment of surgical site infections after spinal surgery.
Albert F. Pull ter Gunne,Ahmed S. Mohamed,Richard L. Skolasky,Cees J. H. M. van Laarhoven,David B. Cohen +4 more
TL;DR: Deep SSI following spinal surgery was effectively treated with single stage debridement and intravenous antibiotics and Superficial SSI could be treated effectively with local wound care and oral antibiotic therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of surgical site infection following adult spinal deformity surgery: an analysis of patient risk
TL;DR: Since obesity was related to an increased risk of both superficial and deep SSI, counseling and treatment for obesity should be considered before elective deformity surgery.
