Study Overview
Brief Summary
This project is being done to understand if a drain reduces recovery problems after surgery, such as infection or the need for more surgery.
Detailed Description
The primary objective is to prospectively evaluate drains used in lumbar spine surgery in patients undergoing one- or two-level open posterior lumbar decompression or decompression and fusion for the relative risk of return to the operating room within 90 days.
