    The Rae of Spondylodiscitis in Patients with Lomber Discectomy Using Single Dose Prophylactic is Antibiotics
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019-01-01) Diren, Furkan; Onal, Mehmet Bulent; Can, Halil; Kircelli, Atilla
    Objective: The incidence of spondylodiscitis following lumbar discectomy has been reported to range between 0.1\% and 18.8\% by various authors. The most common pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: We collected retrospectively the medical records of 1154 patients who had the single-level or two-level disc herniation and were operated for lumbar microdiscectomy between 2007 and 2015 in our hospital. Of them, 554 were female and 600 were male. A total of 1062 patients underwent single-level, 91-level two-level lumbar microdiscectomy. All of these patients were given prophylactic single-dose cefazoline sodium during anesthesia in accordance with the recommendations of the surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis guidelines. Spondylodiscitis developed in 12 patients (1.03\%). The comorbidities in patients treated for spondylodiscitis, isolated pathogens, antibiotic susceptibility, antibiotics used, and hospital stay were recorded. Results: Of the 12 patients, 7 were female and 5 were male. The mean age was 45.75 +/- 14.16 years. Eleven patients underwent single-level, and 1 two-level lumbar microdiscectomy procedures. 5 patients underwent discectomy from L4-5 and 8 patients from L5-S1 levels. Staphylococcus aureus was present in 3 patients (25\%), Staphylococcus epidermidis in 4 (33\%), Escherichia coil in 3 (25\%), and 2 patients had no detected pathogens. The mean duration of hospital stay was 29.45 +/- 3.98 days, and in patients without spondylodiscitis, it was 1.99 +/- 0.81 days, meaning that there was a significant difference between these groups (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Although most surgeons tend to maintain antibiotic prophylaxis postoperatively or during the hospitalization period, our study found that a single dose prophylactic antibiotic administered during anesthesia induction did not increase the rate of spondylodiscitis, compared to the results found in the medical literature.

    The Effect of Using a Dose of Prophylactic Antibiotics on Spondylodiscitis in Lumbar Disc Surgery
    (GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2020-01-01) Diren, Furkan; Onal, Mehmet Bulent; Can, Halil; Kircelli, Atilla
    Objective: Although spondylodiscitis seen after lumbar discectomy is very rare, its incidence has been reported to be around 0.1-18.8\% by many different authors. The most common pathogen is Staphylococcus aureus. Methods: Medical records of 1,154 patients who were operated in our hospital between 2007 and 2015 due to a single or two-level lumbar disc hernia were retrospectively extracted. Of these patients, 554 were female and 600 were male. Discectomy operation was performed in 1,062 of these patients with single-level and 91 with two-level lumbar microdiscectomy. All of these patients were given a prophylactic single dose of cefazolin sodium in accordance with the recommendations of the surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis guidelines during anesthesia. Spondylodiscitis developed in 12 patients (1.03\%). Comorbidities in patients who developed spondylodiscitis, isolated pathogens, antibiotic susceptibility, antibiotics used, and hospital stay were noted. Results: Of the 12 patients, 7 were female and 5 were male. Mean age was 45.75 +/- 14.16 years. Eleven of these patients underwent single level, one had 2 levels of lumbar microdiscectomy. Five patients underwent discectomy at L4-5 and 8 patients at L5-S1 levels. Three of these patients had S. aureus (25\%), 4 had Staphylococcus epidermidis (33\%) and 3 had Escherichia coli (25\%) and 2 patients had no reproduction. The mean hospital stay was 29.45 +/- 3.98, and in patients without spondylodiscitois it was 1.99 +/- 0.81, the two groups were significantly different from each other (p=0.0001). Conclusion: Although most surgeons nave a tendency to maintain antibiotic prophylaxis postoperatively or during hospitalization period, our study found that a single dose prophylactic antibiotic administered during anesthesia induction did not increase rate of spondylodiscitis by medical literature.
