>>From a medical journal:

"...right after the surgery, the blood can build up in the body part.  The
tissue can die from the increased pressure and from the lack of nutrition
and build-up of wastes. The surgeon will sometimes let leeches bite into the
body part and suck blood out."

It sounds awful, but it really does help.  The leeches don't take enough
blood to harm the person, but the amount they remove does help relieve the
pressure and allow fresh blood to get in.
