A Guide to Surgery
A full set of surgery tools can be found in each Operating Theatre locker at the start of the round, though they are often moved into a bag near the operating table by surgeons. Once a surgery has been initiated, the nearby operating computer will give you a hint towards the next step. For Synthetic surgery, see Here.
Surgical Tools 
Every operating theatre is equipped with a full suite of surgical tools. In the event that surgical tools go missing, you can either have them manufactured at an autolathe or order them from Cargo.
Ghetto Surgery 
Surgery can also be performed with other tools if proper surgical implements are not readily available. Use of these tools can dramatically decrease the likelihood of successfully completing a step, often causing collateral damage, especially when attempting to make the initial incision. Furthermore, surgical procedures can be performed on surfaces similar to an operating table, at the cost of additional chance of failure. Tool and surface success chance modifiers combine multiplicatively.
- Note: Due to the nature of ghetto surgery, using sharp objects on tabled subjects will begin surgery. If you're in a different scenerio, don't use help intent.

Preventing Infection 
Infections can be caused by a myriad of sources, from untreated burns to uncleanly surgical tools. The following factors contribute to the likelihood of a surgical procedure causing infection:
- Unhygienic surroundings (including blood and debris).
- Dirty surgical tools.
- Unwashed hands.
- Improper/absent usage of sterile gloves and sterile masks.
- Improper storage of transplantable limbs/organs.
- Multiple people in a single operating theatre.
Failure to keep an operating theatre and its equipment clean will result in infection. It is paramount that every surgeon practices adequate hygiene and safety precautions, limits the active number of patients in their theatre to one, washes their hands between every surgery, and keeps the operating theatre sterile.
If a patient manages to contract - or is presently suffering from - an infection administer spaceacillin. In lieu of spaceacillin, compounds containing high levels of ethanol (preferably straight ethanol) can be used to disinfect organs during the organ manipulation surgery.
Prepping for Surgery 
Now that you understand the basics of both surgical tools and infections it's time to prep for performing the surgery itself. Make sure you diagnose what's wrong with the patient prior to attempting surgery via the use of the Advanced Body Scanner. There are also a few caveats to surgical prep work such as:
- The patient should be healed as much as possible prior to surgical intervention, as many surgeries won't take when performed on severely injured persons.
- All patients require some form of anesthetic, such as the anesthetic tank, ether, or hydrdocodone. Failure to use anesthetic will increase the chance of failure on each step.
- If the patient is a Vox or Plasmaman do not administer tank-based anesthetic. In the case of Vox and Plasmamen, removing their internals can be fatal.
The following is a list of steps to prep for surgical procedures. Please ensure you diagnose your patient prior to prepping for surgical intervention.
Basic Surgeries 
While there are a number of surgical procedures one can perform, the following are some of the most common procedures that are simple and require only basic tools.
Intermediate Surgeries 
These surgeries use more equipment compared to the Basic Surgeries and take a bit longer.

There's also a bevy of other surgeries that can be performed even if niche in purpose.

Robotics Surgeries 
There are are also a number of procedures that can be performed on IPCs. IPCs don't feel pain and can't get infections, so don't worry about administering anesthetics or washing your hands.
