BACKGROUND: Postoperative wound infection remains a troublesome but common complication after spinal surgery. This study presents the 6-year experience of our surgical team with post-operative deep wound infection in Taipei Veterans General Hospital.
METHODS: Of 3230 selected operations, 72 cases of wound infection were identified. Thirty patients with deep wound infection were reviewed, including 17 men and 13 women at a mean age of 32 years. The pre-operative diagnoses included spondylolisthesis, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, herniated inter-vertebral disc, spinal fracture and adjacent syndrome.
RESULTS: In this report, different deep wound infection rates were compared between different operative procedures including (1) posterior decompression with fixation and fusion, 1.15%. (2) simple decompression (laminectomy) and disectomy, 0.37%, (3) revision fixation with decompression, 4.4%, and (4) removal of implant. 0.33%. The onset of infection sign was divided into 3 groups: (1) acute (< 2 weeks), 43.3%, (2) subacute (2-4 weeks), 40%, and (3) chronic (> 4 weeks), 16.6%. In 11 patients with deep wound infection, no bacteria was cultured, while 14 patients had Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and another 3 patients had lower-grade toxic Staphylococcus aureus. All patients received debridement followed by delayed wound closure with effective antibiotics. Instruments were removed in only 8 patients. Twenty seven cases were cured after treatment but 3 patients expired in poor condition.
CONCLUSIONS: In this series, total deep wound infection was 0.9% in our 6-year experience. The incidence of postoperative spinal infection increased with the complexity of the procedure. Most patients got completely disease free with antibiotics and surgical treatment.
