This study is looking at ways to prevent infections after spine surgery that uses hardware (spinal instrumentation). Researchers are comparing two different irrigation solutions used during surgery: Irrisept (a chlorhexidine gluconate solution) alone, or a solution of vancomycin-saline, which may or may not include topical vancomycin. The goal is to see which method is better at preventing surgical site infections (infections at the surgery site) within 90 days after your operation. This study is for adults aged 18 and older who are having spine surgery for conditions like deformity, cancer, degenerative issues, or trauma. You cannot join if you have open wounds, another infection, or are currently taking antibiotics for an infection. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
