  ABSTRACT: Nowadays there have been various advanced techniques to overcome disparate types of lumbar degenerative diseases. However, post-operation complications such as Surgical Site Infection (SSI) still give the surgeon with a big challenge. This article is going to study the risk factor that causes the lumbar SSI by reviewing all the articles that can be assessed through PubMed, websites of science and other internet data base. Numerous articles have stated different reported prevalence rates of 0.7% to 16% for surgical site infection. This article will document the most common and significant risk factors for SSI. At last, we suggest that there should be preoperative patient screening and postoperative internal environment maintenance, this will be the best way to reduce postoperative SSI rate or prevent SSI from happening.
