Successful microsurgical revascularization of an almost totally amputated ear lobe by horse bite

This case report describes successful microsurgical revascularization of an almost totally amputated external ear in a 75-year-old male patient caused by a horse bite. The abstract provides only a brief description of the injury and surgical intervention, with no mention of leeches, hirudotherapy, leech-derived substances, or the leech secretome at any point. For ASH's domain, no defensible link to hirudotherapy or the leech secretome can be drawn from this abstract. Caveat: This article has no discernible relevance to leech biology, leech therapy, or ASH's domain; the injury mechanism and treatment approach are entirely unrelated to leeches.
