Cell Saver Method
This is a machine that washes and filters the blood that the patient circulates. the machine hooks up and connects to the patient's body as they bleed their blood runs through the machine. It is able to salvage the blood instead of it being discarded.

Miniaturized Endoscopes
This instrument allows the surgeon to make a minimal size incision. Surgeons can make an opening less than one inch in length.
Cauterization
These help stop bleeding and allow the surgeon to operate quicker and therefore reduce the chance of physical trauma. It also enables the surgeon to see into the body clearer as they operate.
Two stage surgery
Occasionally Surgical procedures can be broken up into 2 stages. This gives the patient time to build their hemoglobin level before the 2nd procedure.
Hemodilution
A patients blood can be taken before surgery, temporarily stored, and replaced with colloid solutions. A patients platelets and plasma can also be stored. These would be taken, filtered, and later returned when needed.
