Abstract

In this study, hematomas were induced with trauma to the arteries and veins of the external surface of the ears of five healthy adult dogs. The following day, three medicinal leeches (H. medicinalis) were attached to the area of the hematoma in unanesthetised dogs allowed them stay until they were full and self detached. This treatment was continued daily for three days. In most cases, the leeches attached to hematoma quickly and detached themselves when they completed the blood sucking, usually after 10–15 minutes. In all case, aural hematoma of the ear resolved soon after the cessation of the treatment without complications.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, ergin ve sağlıklı 5 köpekte kulağın dış yüzündeki arter ve venalar travmatize edilerek kulak hematomu oluşturuldu. Bir gün sonra köpek anestezi edilmeden oluşan hematom üzerine 3 Tıbbi sülük (Hirudo medicinalis) uygulanarak doyup kendiliğinden bırakıncaya kadar emmeleri sağlandı. Bu uygulama üç gün süreyle devam etti. Çoğu olgularda, sülükler çabucak hematom bölgesine tutunup 10-15 dakika süresince kan emdikten sonra doyunca, kendiliklerinden tutundukları bölgeyi bıraktılar. Bütün olgularda uygulama sonrasında hiçbir komplikasyon oluşmaksızın kulak hematomunun rezorbe olduğu gözlendi.
