Abstract

Objectives: Amputations performed at our clinic were evaluated with respect to etiology, amputation level, and age distribution. Patients and methods: Between May 1995 and May 2003, 286 extremity amputations of 269 patients (211 males, 58 females; mean age 41 years; range 6 months to 90 years) were retrospectively evaluated with respect to age and gender of the patients, and side, etiology, and amputation level. Results: The mean age was 42 years in males, and 40 years in females. Of 286 amputations, 136 (50.6%) were on the right, 116 (43.1%) were on the left, and 17 patients (6.3%) had amputations in two extremities. The major causes of amputations were trauma in 114 cases (n=121, 42.4%), diabetes in 65 cases (n=70, 24.2%), and peripheral vascular disease in 59 cases (n=63, 21.9%). The number of amputations due to trauma was significantly higher than that due to diabetes or peripheral vascular disease, and patients in this group were younger than those with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease (mean age 26.4±15.6 years vs 56.2±12.5 years; p

Özet

Amaç: Kliniğimizde yapılan amputasyonların nedenleri, seviyeleri ve hastaların yaş gruplarına göre dağılımları araştırıldı. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Mayıs 1995-Mayıs 2003 tarihleri arasında 269 hastada (211 erkek, 58 kadın; ort. Yaş 41; dağılım 6 ay-90 yaş) çeşitli düzeylerden uygulanan 286 ekstremite amputasyonu geriye dönük olarak incelendi. Olgular yaş, cinsiyet, amputasyon tarafı, nedeni ve seviyeleri bakımından değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması erkeklerde 42, kadınlarda 40 idi. Toplam 286 amputasyonun 136’sı (%50.6) sağ, 116’sı (%43.1) sol ekstremitede idi. On yedi hastada (%6.3) ise iki ekstremitede amputasyon yapıldı. Amputasyonları n başlıca nedenleri 114 olguda (n=121, %42.4) travma, 65 olguda (n=70, %24.2) diyabet ve 59 olguda (n=63, %21.9) periferik damar hastalığı idi. Travmaya bağlı amputasyonlar, hem diyabete hem de periferik damar hastalığına bağlı amputasyonlardan belirgin derecede fazlaydı ve bu olgularda ortalama yaş anlamlı derecede düşüktü (26.4±15.6 ve 56.2±12.5; p
