The study took place at Al-Assad University Hospital in Latakia, during the period from the onset of January 2006 until June, 2008. The study included 400 patients who had operated for ruptured lumbar disk. All the patients had undergone the same circumstances, and have taken prophylactic antibiotics before, during and after operation and 15 of them have had lumbar discits post operatively. The goal of the study is to reach the best manner of early diagnosis through the magnetic resonance imaging. After discussion of results, we found that the application of prophylactic antibiotics may reduce the rate of occurrence (3.7% in our study) comparing with the international ratio (4%), in addition to the high sensitivity and specificity in all patients of our study.
