Abstract
- It is the fact that parenteral antobiotics have no place in the treatment of the discitis after postoperative state because the antobiotics can not reach the focus of infection on account of the avascular zone of the intervetebral space. The author treats more extensive discitis to place an indwelling rubber catheter into the cavity to a contunuous irrigation with normal saline solution containing antobiotics. The catheter is left are as following ; 1. It is to effect the continuous direct administration of the antobiotics. 2. It is a mechnical effect by flushing out necrotic particles. 3. It is less recurrent infection. 4. The method is very simple, inexpensive. 5. The treated period is very short in contrast with immobilization and systemic antibacterial administration.
