The patient was operated by me 22-June-2015 for second recurrence of L5-S1 with left downward migration. The patient was doing well until the fourth postoperative day. After that she started to complain of agonizing pain in the hips more the left with inability to stand. She was admitted urgently at the night of 29-June-2015. MRI lumbar spine showed diskitis of L5-S1 with fluid collection under the skin and muscles and circumferentially around the annulus fibrosis. CRP was 198 mg/L  and ESR 72 mm/h and WBC  11.000. Samixon 1 gm I/V was started twice a day.

The old incision was opened and after removing the subcuticular stitches a gush of orange fluidly pus  came out. It was sent for all types of CXS. The wound was explored and the disc space was empty after evacuation of the fluid. Further distal cleaning of the right side of the disc space from the left. The disc material was swollen and friable. Debridement of the wound and a 1 gm of Vancomycin powder was inserted to disc cavity. The wound was closed with less irritant materials and the wound was closed using nylon 3 zero.

Smooth postoperative recovery. The patient was sent to the floor.

 

 

Comments

The patient during the first visit and after performing the investigations was advised to start Zinnat 500 twice a day. In the record there are missing data why I prescribed this antibiotic, but usually I prescribe it when suspecting a nidus of infection.
