=A Guide to Surgery In General=

All surgery requires the set of medical tools in the Operating Theatre, along with an operating table. Once a surgery has been initiated, the nearby operating computer will give you a hint towards the next step.

Ghetto Surgery

If you can't find an operating table, have no fear, there are other ways to fix people up. Any table will work! Click twice on a player to put them in an aggressive grab, and click on a table. However, you have a 1/3 chance per step to make a mistake and injure the patient rather than advancing the procedure. While tables are more available anywhere metal is on hand, deploying the patient on a roller bed is preferable with only a 1/4 chance to fail. Failure perfoms a normal attack and some people think it means it doesnt work, but it does. keep going untill you succeed

Surgical Tools

Surgical tools are very hard to get and it is best to keep them in the operating theatre. However, if the worst happens and some tools disappear, you can order more in a surgery crate from cargo, and most can be made with an autolathe.

The following are the standard surgical tools most doctors will need:

  • File:Mmi empty.png MMI
  • Drill.png surgical drill
  • Scalpel.png scalpel
  • Saw.png circular saw
  • Hemostat.png hemostat
  • Cautery.png cautery
  • Retractor.png retractors
  • Bone setter.png bone setter
  • Bone gel.png bone gel
  • Fixovein.png FixOVein
  • Autopsy scanner.png autopsy scanner
  • Anesthetics.png anesthetic tank
  • Sterilemask.png sterile mask
  • LGloves.png latex gloves
  • Incision Management System (replaces scalpel, hemostat and retractors)
  • Advanced Laser Scalpel (can replace scalpel and cautery)

Infection

Place on gloves and wash your hands before every surgery. Failure to do so will result in giving your patient an infection, which left untreated can be deadly. Apply ointment to the afflicted areas quickly if you fail to wash your hands before starting surgery.

Spaceacilin can be used to treat external infections and is required for treating infected organs. Usually a single syringe of it will be enough.

Prepping for Surgery

Please ensure that your patients are properly diagnosed and scanned before starting the operation, and that all medications and personal needed for the procedure have been prepared.

  1. Find a suitable OpTable.gif operating table, unless you're willing to risk Ghetto Surgery.
  2. Make sure you're wearing LGloves.png latex gloves and a Sterilemask.png sterile mask.
  3. Use a sink to wash your hands. Unclean hands can result in infections.
  4. Click+drag the person to the operating table to lay them down on it.
  5. Check if the person is a Vox, Plasmaman, or Slime Person. If they aren't one of those, follow the next steps. If they are, you'll need to inject them with ether (Which will put the patient to sleep after a moment and requires a lot to work), morphine (Which is addictive), or hydrocodone (Which must be obtained from chemistry). The former two can be obtained from a NanoMed Plus, and comes in a bottle.
  6. Pick up a BreathingMask.png medical mask and Anesthetics.png anesthetic tank.
  7. Click+drag their body onto yours to view their inventory. Click on the link beside "Mask" to remove their mask, if they have one. Do the same for the link beside "Back" to remove their backpack.
  8. With the medical mask in your right hand, click on the "Nothing" link at the top beside "Head (Mask)". In a few seconds, you will equip them with the medical mask.
  9. Place the sleeping agent in your right hand, then click the "Nothing" link in their inventory window beside "Back" to equip it on their back.
  10. A new link will appear beside the sleeping agent called "Set internals". Click on it to turn on the gas. It will force them asleep in about 5 seconds. You are now ready to proceed with surgery.
  11. Make sure you're set on the Help.png Help intent.

NOTE: If anyone is pulling on the patient, the surgery will not work properly! Make sure no one is pulling the patient!

NOTE 2: Make sure the patient is not a Vox nor a Plasmaman before you administer anesthetics!

NOTE 3: Make sure the patient has been healed prior to bone repair surgery, or it won't work!

NOTE 4: IPCs do not require anesthetics, as they do not feel pain and don't breathe anyway. Make sure you have a mechanical toolbox fully kitted out on hand. Or take them to robotics

Basic Surgery List

There are numerous types of surgeries that you can perform. Here are some of the most common that every surgeon should familiarize themselves with. A list of surgery can be accessed via using a sharp object on the patient.

NOTE 1: Not all sharp objects can be used as scalpels!

NOTE 2: To stop a surgery at any point in time, hold the scalpel tool in your active hand and a cautery in your off-hand, or try swapping intents if it's before the first cut!

NOTE 3: Cybernetic Implant Surgery falls under Organ Manipulation Surgery

Bone Repair Surgery

  5. Use the Hemostat.png hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
  6. Use your Retractor.png retractors to lift up the skin.

Re-attaching severed organic and IPC limbs and heads

  1. Aim for the patient's affected (missing) limb using the Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
  2. Use the Scalpel.png scalpel to select the "Limb Attachment" Surgery.
  3. Attach the appropriate missing limb (theirs or someone elses).
