abstract="Amputation surgery is a last resort, carried out when the vascular reconstruction is inappropriate or impossible to perform.  We present a case of a 70-year-old woman who suffered from left lower limb ischemia. The patient was admitted to hospital in a serious condition with strong leg pain. At first the woman underwent thrombectomia. However, the leg amputation was necessary. In the postoperative period the patient manifested the depression symptoms, the complications of the healing of the wound and the metabolic disorders. Thanks to the implementation of good practice in the healing, the proper wound care and the comprehensive care of the patient, the condition of the patient gradually improved. After twenty days of hospitalization the patient was discharged home in good general status. The paper presents a model of the nursing process of patient, based on the International Classification for Nursing Practice ICNP®.",
