Replantation of an avulsed ear, using a single arterial anastamosis
Case report published in J Plast Reconstr Aesthet Surg (2007)
Abstract
Avulsion of the ear is relatively uncommon and replantation a technical challenge. A case in which an avulsed ear was successfully replanted using a single arterial anastamosis is described. The surgical difficulties encountered, the pharmaceutical approach to postoperative care and the problems which resulted from the lack of venous drainage are discussed.

Zusammenfassung
Microvascular ear replantation in middle-aged male performed with arterial anastomosis only, with medicinal leech therapy and systemic anticoagulation.
Warum dies für die Hirudotherapie relevant ist
This case report describes the successful replantation of an avulsed ear using a single arterial anastomosis, with discussion of the surgical difficulties, pharmaceutical postoperative care, and problems resulting from absent venous drainage. The abstract does not mention leeching, leeches, or hirudotherapy at any point. No defensible connection to ASH's domain of hirudotherapy or the leech secretome can be drawn from the abstract text alone. Caveat: this is a single case report focused on microsurgical technique and postoperative management; any relevance to leech therapy would require information not present in the abstract.
