To explore a method for removing a living leech from the nasal cavity.
A total of 5 patients with nasal leech were examined. Nasal endoscopy revealed the presence of a wriggling leech in the nasal cavities of each of these patients. A negative suction tube with an inner diameter of 3 mm and a negative pressure of 30-40 kp was used to remove these leeches. In each case, this suction tube was aimed at the free end of the leech, and the leech was gradually and slowly sucked into the tube. The suckers of the removed leeches were examined to ensure that no leech fragments remained within each patient.
In all 5 cases, the intact leech was successfully removed. No surgical complications occurred.
The negative suction method can successfully remove nasal leeches.
探索一种从鼻腔取出活水蛭的方法。
共检查了5例鼻腔水蛭患者。鼻内镜检查发现这些患者的鼻腔内均有一条蠕动的水蛭。使用内径为3毫米、负压为30 - 40千帕的负压吸引管来取出这些水蛭。在每种情况下,该吸引管对准水蛭的游离端,水蛭被逐渐缓慢地吸入管内。检查取出的水蛭的吸盘,以确保每位患者体内没有残留水蛭碎片。
所有5例患者的完整水蛭均成功取出。未发生手术并发症。
负压吸引法可成功取出鼻腔水蛭。
