Brief Summary

Infection after spinal surgery is one of the serious complications. Spinal surgery infection can cause high morbidity, mortality, and costs. In spite of different prophylactic methods, up to 15% of infection appears after spinal surgery. Vancomycin powder, which is one of the most applied methods, seems to be effective and inexpensive. However, vancomycin administration may be inconvenient in elderly participants with high comorbidity and especially kidney problems. The investigators aimed to reduce the rate of infection in the post-op 90-day period by adding per-op Teicoplanin powder onto the implant in participants scheduled for lumbar posterior instrumentation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Surgical site infection

    Surgical site infection rates will be compared between two goups

    90 days

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

We will be added 200mg teicoplanin powder around instrument for each level.

Drug: Teicoplanin

Group 2

NO INTERVENTION

We will not used any antibiotic powder in this group.

Interventions

We will be used 200mg Teicoplanin powder for each level of instrument.Hemovac drains will be used in either group. The drains will remain closed for 6 hours post-operatively for teicoplanin powder penetration in a surgical site.
