A pilot, prospective, single-center study for the investigation of the use of Prevena Vacuum-Assisted Closure devices in patients undergoing spine surgery.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Prevena Plus 125 therapy Unit (KCI USA, Inc.) in preventing surgical site infections and other wound complications in patients undergoing spine surgery compared to conventional wound dressing. Furthermore, the investigators want to illustrate which patients benefit most significantly from Prevena usage as spine surgery sees a range of potential candidates, and not all may experience equivalent recovery from spine surgery with Prevena intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery
