Objective To analyze the cases of surgical wounded characteristics after Lushan county 7.0 earthquake for government departments to formulate relevant policies to provide references for future decision-making. Methods The data of surgical wounded were collected from various hospitals in Sichuan province. Origin, operation time and the injured area were counted according to gender and operation time was counted according to origin. In the descriptive statistics the frequencies and proportions were used to describe categorical data and x±SD was used to describe quantitative data. SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the data. Results A total of 975 cases of surgical wounded included 586 cases of male (accounting for 60.10%) and 389 cases of female (accounting for 39.90%). The average age of the surgical wounded was 40.42±20.06 years. Ya'an city had completed the largest number of surgical cases. Medical institutions completed 53.85 percent of the surgery in the first three days, 41.03 percent of the surgery from four days to seven days after the earthquake. They completed 94.88 percent of surgery in one week after the earthquake. Ya'an city was the largest city in the number of surgical cases within 3 days after the earthquake. Medical institutions directly under the province and the Ministry of Health medical institutions in Sichuan were the largest medical institutions in number of surgical cases from four days to seven days after the earthquake. The largest number of cases was wounded ankle and foot injuries, followed by the abdomen, lower back, lumbar spine and pelvis injuries, once again the knee and calf injuries, and finally the head injury. Conclusion In the face of natural disasters like earthquakes, the health care system should establish a reasonable and effective medical emergency response mechanisms and plans, and establish a scientific and rational triage mechanism. Multi-disciplines such as orthopedics and surgery should be ready ahead of first aid equipment and emergency medicine, so as to rationalize the allocation of medical resources, achieve maximum utilization of medical resources, reduce morbidity and mortality, and save surgical treatment time for more wounded.
