This article presents a protocol for the perioperative care of patients undergoing digital replantation, which is the most common microsurgical procedure performed today. Venous congestion, a common complication of digital replantation, often has been treated through surgical exploration and creation of arteriovenous anastomosis. Leech therapy, however, is experiencing a resurgence among surgeons as an alternative method for treating venous congestion. This article discusses the anatomical, physiological, and clinical indications and methods of leech therapy in digital replantation.
本文介绍了一种用于接受断指再植患者围手术期护理的方案，断指再植是当今最常见的显微外科手术。静脉淤血是断指再植的常见并发症，通常通过手术探查和建立动静脉吻合来治疗。然而，水蛭疗法作为治疗静脉淤血的替代方法，正再次受到外科医生的青睐。本文讨论了水蛭疗法在断指再植中的解剖学、生理学、临床适应证及方法。
