Popis: The successful operative management of spinal infections necessitates a thoughtful approach. Ideal treatment combines the universal goals of any spine operation, which are decompression of the neural elements and stabilization of instability, with source control and eradication of infection. Techniques to treat infection have evolved independently and alongside advances in implant technology and surgical techniques. This review will seek to outline current thinking on approaches to both primary and secondary spinal infections.
