Conditions
Summary
This study aims to assess the efficacy of intraoperative wound irrigation with iodine-containing and chlorhexidine-containing solutions in reducing bacterial colonization during spine surgery, and to determine which solution is more effective. Additionally, we aim to evaluate any side effects associated with the use of these two antiseptic solutions for wound irrigation.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- Patients who were diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis need to undergo posterior lumbar decompression with fusion surgery.
Exclusion Criteria3
- People who are allergic to disinfectants (Providine or CHG)
- The surgical site has been operated before.
- Patients under active infection status.
