Summary

This study looks at whether showering once or twice with a special antiseptic soap before lumbar disc herniation surgery reduces the risk of surgical site infections. 86 participants will be randomly assigned to shower either the night before surgery or both the night before and the morning of surgery. The researchers will monitor for infections for 30 days after surgery.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
4% chlorhexidine gluconate antiseptic soap
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that showering twice before surgery is better at preventing infections than showering once.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 86 people. The results may not apply to everyone, and the difference between one and two showers might be too small to matter.
