Complications from the use of intrawound vancomycin in lumbar spinal surgery: a systematic review
TL;DR: Intrawound vancomycin use appears to be safe and effective for reducing postoperative SSIs with a low rate of morbidity, although study disparities and limitations in size, patient populations, designs, and outcomes measures contribute significant bias that could not be fully rectified by this systematic review.
