ABSTRACT
Introduction: amputation may be the oldest surgical procedures.Objective: to assess the behavior of non-traumatic lower limb amputations in Pinar del Rio province during the years 2019-2020.
Methods: a descriptive, longitudinal and cross-sectional study of non-traumatic lower limb amputations was conducted at Abel Santamaria Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital during the years 2019-2020. The target group comprised 488 patients, all of them were studied. Descriptive statistics was applied by means of absolute and relative percentages.
Results: amputations increased discreetly in 2020 (5 %) due to peripheral vascular disease, along with diabetes mellitus being the first cause (60 %), followed by obliterating atherosclerosis with major amputations as the most frequent (82 %), and of them supracondylar amputations (69 %).
Conclusions: peripheral vascular disease constitutes a high risk of lower limb amputations in patients without possibilities of revascularization in correspondence with the major supracondylar ones, and diabetes mellitus as the first cause for non-traumatic amputations.
