Exclusion Criteria:
- Known allergy to cefazolin

First Regimen Group
Second Regimen Group
The first regimen will consist of a bolus dose of Cefazolin 30mg/kg up to a maximum of 2000mg IV administered prior to surgical incision. The same pre-operative dose of Cefazolin will be repeated every 3 hours until the completion of surgery. Two will paraspinal muscle microdialysis catheters and two subcutaneous microdialysis catheters will be inserted.
The second regimen will consist of an initial bolus dose of 30 mg/kg up to maximum of 2000 mg. Following the initial bolus dose a continuous Cefazolin drip will start until the end of surgery. Cefazolin drip dose will be 10 mg/(kg*h) up to maximum of 667 mg/h.Two microdialysis catheters will be inserted into a paraspinal muscle and two microdialysis catheters will be inserted subcutaneously.
