Surgical site infections (SSI) following cervical spine surgery can lead to significant patient morbidity and costs. Prevention of SSIs is multifactorial and can be divided in to preoperative patient optimization and intraoperative surgical factors. We performed a literature review to identify methods that can be used to prevent SSI development specifically in the cervical spine. We also present specific surgical pearls and techniques that have the potential to significantly decrease rates of cervical SSIs.
颈椎手术后的手术部位感染(SSI)可导致患者出现严重的发病情况并增加费用。SSI的预防是多因素的,可分为术前患者状况优化和术中手术因素。我们进行了一项文献综述,以确定可专门用于预防颈椎SSI发生的方法。我们还介绍了一些特定的手术技巧和技术,它们有可能显著降低颈椎SSI的发生率。
