Leech therapy has made a comeback as a legitimate form of therapy for treating venous congestion following grafts and replants. Complications caused directly by leech therapy are minimal, as are the risks, while the benefits can be revascularization of replanted tissue. Nurses are integral in preparing patients for leech therapy.
水蛭疗法已卷土重来，成为治疗移植和再植术后静脉充血的一种合理治疗方式。水蛭疗法直接引发的并发症极少，风险也很低，而其益处在于可使再植组织实现血管再生。护士在让患者为水蛭疗法做准备方面起着不可或缺的作用。
