Overview

This project is being done to understand if a drain reduces recovery problems after surgery, such as infection or the need for more surgery.

Description

The primary objective is to prospectively evaluate drains used in lumbar spine surgery in patients undergoing one- or two-level open posterior lumbar decompression or decompression and fusion for the relative risk of return to the operating room within 90 days.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • One or two-level open spinal decompression or decompression and fusion for the treatment of lumbar stenosis and/or spondylolisthesis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Infection, tumor, or trauma
  • Prior lumbar fusion surgery
  • Lumbar fusion surgery at more than 2 levels
  • Anterior lumbar surgery
  • Perioperative anticoagulation treatment
  • Intraoperative incidental durotomy
  • Intraoperative or postoperative cerebrospinal fluid leakage
  • Intraoperative EBL greater than one liter

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
