The use of vacuum-assisted closure in spinal wound infections with or without exposed dura

European Spine Journal Apr 29, 2018

Lee R, et al. - Authors reviewed the outcomes after postoperative spinal infection treatment with vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy, principally those with exposed dura. All participants involved in this study had an initial debridement followed by application of VAC Whitefoam (with exposed dura) or grey Granufoam (where no dura was exposed).

To eradicate infection and achieve wound closure, a mean of 2.3 infection surgeries were required.
