Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: Patients in both groups completed the surgery successfully. The ESR and CRP levels in the observation group were lower than those in the control group one week after surgery (p < 0.05); the duration of postoperative antibiotics and hospital stay were lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05); the incidence of SSI in the two groups was 5.88% and 6.45% respectively, with no significant difference (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The use of topical streptomycin irrigation of the lesion during surgical procedures for spinal tuberculosis had no significant effect on the incidence of SSI, however, it helped to control the level of infection in the postoperative period and reduced the length of time patients had to use postoperative antibiotics and the number of days they stayed in hospital. Future prospective randomised controlled trials in more centres and larger samples are recommended.
