    Single Versus Multiple Dose Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Lumbar Disc Surgery
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2003) Matthew Dobzyniak; Jeffrey S. Fischgrund; Steve Hankins; Harry N. Herkowitz
    These results support the use of single preoperative dose of antibiotics in lumbar disc surgery. This is relevant as many lumbar diskectomy patients are candidates for early hospital discharge. At our institution, no increased risk of infection occurred for the single dose group.
