    Dr. Stuart Linder answered:
    During surgery bleeding is normally controlled by either electrocauterization or direct ligation of the vessel. When operating each day I use a coagulation device that directly burns the small blood vessels and prevents hemmorhage. Larger blood vessels can be either hand tied off or suture ligated.
