Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

Cervical spondylodiscitis is a rare pathology, with an incidence of 0.5-2.5 per 100,000 population, posing significant potential risks. This type of infection can lead to neurological impairment in up to 29% of patients. Radical surgical debridement of the infected segment, fusion, and an intravenous antibiotic regimen remains the gold standard in most spine centers. This study aimed to analyze the surgical outcome in a tertiary spine center based on disease severity.
