Клиническое значение
Arbel 2024 contextualizes leech therapy as one of several innovative adjuncts in penile microsurgical replantation. For US clinicians under K040187, the review reinforces leech utility for venous congestion in a population where 56.5% experience postoperative necrosis. The systematic nature provides epidemiological framing for individual case decisions in this rare urologic emergency.
