Piece by piece, relatively safely.

The normal method of trying to remove it would have incurred blood loss, but that was not the problem per say - it was just that losing blood in this manner was against his religious beliefs or something, and he wasn't prepared to have the surgery unless they could find a way of getting rid of it without blood loss.

EDIT: and believe it or not, he still has vision in one eye
