A systematic review conducted by researchers at Peninsula Health in Frankston, Australia, examined the use of medicinal leeching in breast surgery. The review found that medicinal leeching can effectively relieve venous congestion in breast surgery, but it is associated with complications such as infection, pain, and anemia. The review analyzed 18 studies with a combined sample size of 28, including case series and case reports. The researchers concluded that medicinal leeching should be used judiciously to maximize efficacy and minimize harm. [Extracted from the article] |
