Venous congestion is a constant threat in the survival of free flaps, pedicled flaps, tissue replantations and traumatized tissue. Leech therapy has proved effective in salvaging much of these compromised tissues. To be effective, leeches must be both readily available and hungry, requirements not always easily met. Our investigation seeks to establish

Tissues threatened by venous congestion often can be saved by timely leech therapy. Methods to restimulate sated leeches, particularly emergently, are only poorly described in the nineteenth-century literature. Sated leeches were purged of their blood meals by (1) posterior crop incision, (2) hypertonic saline (3 percent) immersion, (3) gentle finger ...
