Summary
Postoperative spinal surgical site infections (SSI) pose significant clinical challenges, with incidence rates ranging from <1% to 12%. Risk factors such as surgical extensiveness, longer operative time, instrumentation, and increased blood loss are established contributors. This study examines risk factors influencing SSI outcomes in multilevel lumbar instrumented fusion, focusing on risk of readmission within 90 days after surgical treatment of SSI’s.
