Effectiveness of Povidone-Iodine Versus Chlorhexidine Gluconate Solutions in Reducing Microbial Contamination in Spinal Surgery Wounds During Intraoperative Soaking.
This study aims to assess the efficacy of intraoperative wound irrigation with iodine-containing and chlorhexidine-containing solutions in reducing bacterial colonization during spine surgery, and to determine which solution is more effective. Additionally, we aim to evaluate any side effects associated with the use of these two antiseptic solutions for wound irrigation.
