Really trying to ELY5. There are several ways to avoid insane blood loss, and many times several are done at once. You can put pressure on the area, or even completely close a blood vessel, so that less (or no) blood comes through, and there’s less bleeding when you cut up. Also, there are tools which burn at the same time they cut, so whatever hole they create is immediately sealed, which means that there’s less bleeding. Even then, there are many cases where people need blood transfusions after the surgery, but fortunately, they’re not as common.
