Abstract
Post-operative wound infections after spinal surgery are not uncommon and lead to a prolongation of the patients' hospital stay and to increased costs for the hospital and the general public. Furthermore, post-operative wound infections can be associated with life-threatening complications (Pepke et al. 2020). To prevent such infections, it is crucial to identify the risk factors for post-operative wound infections after spinal surgery and to develop a standardized, evidence-based procedure for their prophylaxis and management (Algarny et al. 2023; Farah et al. 2021; Tan et al. 2020; Xia et al. 2024). For this reason, the current work posed the question about the current evidence for potential risk factors regarding surgical technique and patient-related aspects. The aim of the current thesis was therefore to research, summarize and critically discuss the evidence regarding risk factors, prophylaxis and management of post-operative wound infections after spinal surgery. This was done as part of a systematic literature search and analysis. The results of the present study show the current evidence on possible risk factors for post-operative wound infections as well as their prophylaxis and management. It became apparent that there is still a clear need for research on this topic.
