Induced hypotension.
The use of induced hypotension in the hands of a competent anaesthetist combined with the careful technique of a surgeon skilled in operating under these conditions can aid surgical access, improve delineation of pathology, and reduce levels of blood loss, all of which are to the advantage of the patient. These advantages should encourage surgical and anaesthetic teams to become accomplished exponents of the art.
