Optimizing Wound Healing Following Cervical Spine Surgery
PRS closure of cervical spine cases minimizes the risk of reoperation and readmission, even among a population with comorbidities known to be associated with wound-related complications. Improved outcomes were especially observed for more complex wounds requiring local flap closure. Thus, there is strong evidence to support PRS involvement in cervical spine surgery.
