Sponsor's own description
Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of nosocomial infection in surgical departments. Although lumbar disc herniation (LDH), which is one of the common cases in neurosurgery, is a serious problem affecting postoperative SSI, morbidity and mortality, there are not enough studies on its prevention in the literature. In the literature, there are studies on showering with chlorhexidine or other antiseptic solutions in the preoperative period to prevent SSI, but there is no study on whether the number of showers performed in the preoperative period is effective on SSI. In this study, the effect of showering with 4% chlorhexidine gluconate before lumbar disc herniation surgery on postoperative surgical site infections will be examined. It is aimed to compare the effect of douching with 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate before lumbar disc hernia surgery on surgical site infections. Since there are not enough studies in the literature, this study is an innovative study. In this study, it is thought that washing the surgical site with antiseptic soap containing 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate before LDH surgery will have an effect on surgical site infections.
