简要总结
Study objectives include assessing the use of Irrisept irrigation solution in lumbar spinal fusion procedures and effect on clinical and patient reported outcome measures. This includes assessing postoperative SSI as well as fusion rates in addition to patient reported outcome measures.
详细描述
This is a randomized controlled pilot study with a study size of 50 patients. Results will be utilized to plan a larger scale study. Background literature supports the use of chlorhexidine gluconate as an irrigation solution to decrease SSI although this has not been conducted in this population of patients (lumbar spine fusion) to date. A decrease in SSI with Irrisept, could support the possible use of this as an irrigation solution to decrease infections postoperatively. It will be important to know the effect if any of Irrisept on fusion rates. This study will provide valuable information that may assist in future treatment and prevention of SSI in lumbar spinal fusion patients.
