Abstract
We report a case of 15 year-old Jehovah's Witness patient with mild anemia who underwent a successful orthognathic two-jaw surgery. Jehovah's Witness patients refuse transfusion of blood or blood products even in life threatening situations. The use of recombinant human erythropoietin and iron supplement increased hemoglobin during preoperative period. Intraoperatively, meticulous surgical hemostasis, acute normovolemic hemodilution and induced hypotension enabled the completion of the operation without the use of blood products
