What Is Spine Infection Surgery?

Nonsurgical and noninvasive treatment options are usually considered before spine surgery. Surgery is generally recommended depending upon what kind of infection you have. Instability or deformity in the spine is also a deciding factor in whether or not surgery is pursued.

During spine infection surgery, the infected tissue is clean and removed. The surgeon ensures that the infected tissues receive adequate blood flow so it heals faster. The surgeon also tries to minimize neurological impairment from the infection.

Why Would I Need This Procedure?

Spine infections occur when bacteria spread from your blood to your vertebra. Sometimes bacteria can enter your spine through an injection treatment, surgery, an injury, or due to IV drug use. The infection occurs in the spinal vertebra or bones. If not treated quickly, a variety of health conditions can occur.
