=A Guide to Surgery In General=
All surgery requires the set of medical tools in the [[Operating Theatre]], along with an operating table. In general, only [[Medical Doctor]]s and the [[Chief Medical Officer]] can (ICly) perform advanced surgery. Remember to let each step complete fully, else you risk harming yourself or your patient.
All surgery requires the set of medical tools in the [[Operating Theatre]], along with an operating table. Ideally, only [[Medical Doctor|Surgeons]] and the [[Chief Medical Officer]] can perform advanced surgery. Remember to let each step complete fully, else you <s>risk harming yourself or your patient</s> like playing dangerously and want to ace that surgery.


===Ghetto Surgery===
===Field 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 chance per step to make a mistake and injure the patient depending on the tools you're using and just how 'ghetto' they are, rather than advancing the procedure. A scalpel is the best, but a very sharp, well-made knife is passable, and a random table-knife is going to have some issues.
Generally this should only be put into play if you are unable to reach medbay or the operating rooms (e.g. singularity eats medbay) and surgery needs to be done immediately. Any table will work, though an operating table has the least chance of failures. Putting the patient in an aggressive grab and clicking the table will lay them on the table, from there you should probably instruct them to rest or else they'll just get back up. Roller beds, however, have a better chance of success than regular tables. The tools you use will also determine the success of each surgery, with a scalpel having the highest chance of success, a sharp knife being suitable, while some sharp object like a glass shard will spur issues.


===Surgical Tools===
===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.
Surgery tools aren't common and are pretty much only found in the operating rooms. The ghetto tools can be found just about everywhere.

=== Infection ===
===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. Make sure to clean your tools after every surgery as well!

A Guide to Surgery In General

All surgery requires the set of medical tools in the Operating Theatre, along with an operating table. Ideally, only Surgeons and the Chief Medical Officer can perform advanced surgery. Remember to let each step complete fully, else you risk harming yourself or your patient like playing dangerously and want to ace that surgery.

Field Surgery

Generally this should only be put into play if you are unable to reach medbay or the operating rooms (e.g. singularity eats medbay) and surgery needs to be done immediately. Any table will work, though an operating table has the least chance of failures. Putting the patient in an aggressive grab and clicking the table will lay them on the table, from there you should probably instruct them to rest or else they'll just get back up. Roller beds, however, have a better chance of success than regular tables. The tools you use will also determine the success of each surgery, with a scalpel having the highest chance of success, a sharp knife being suitable, while some sharp object like a glass shard will spur issues.

Surgical Tools

Surgery tools aren't common and are pretty much only found in the operating rooms. The ghetto tools can be found just about everywhere.

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

Standard Tools:

  • Scalpel.png Scalpel
  • Hemostat.png Hemostat
  • Retractor.png Retractors
  • Saw.png Circular saw
  • Cautery.png Cautery
  • Bone gel.png Bone gel
  • Bone setter.png Bone setter
  • Drill.png Surgical drill
  • BreathingMask.png Medical mask
  • Anesthetics.png Anesthetic tank
  • Autopsy scanner.png Autopsy scanner
  • Sterilemask.png Sterile mask
  • LGloves.png Latex gloves
  • Traumakit.png Advanced trauma kit
  • Nanopaste.png Nanopaste

Advanced Tools:

The following are tools that can be used in place of their surgically refined counterparts.

Ghetto tools:

  • CableCoils.png Cable Coil
  • GlassShard.png Glass Shard
  • Wirecutters.png Wirecutters
  • Crowbar.png Crowbar
  • Welderon.gif Welding Tool
  • Screwdriver tool.png Screwdriver
  • Mousetrap.png Mousetrap
  • Fork.png Fork
  • Cigarette.gif Cigarette
  • Lighter.png Lighter
  • Rods.png Metal Rods
  • Wrench.png Wrench
  • Knife.png Kitchen Knife

Infection

Wear gloves and wash your hands before every surgery. Failure to do so will result in giving your patient an infection which, if left untreated, can be deadly. Apply ointment to the afflicted areas quickly if you fail to wash your hands before starting surgery. Make sure to clean your tools after every surgery as well with a spray bottle of either space cleaner or sterilizine.

Prepping for Surgery

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

  1. Find a suitable OpTable.gif operating table.
  2. Make sure you're wearing LGloves.png latex gloves and a Sterilemask.png sterile mask.
  3. Ask the person to strip, or clickdrag them onto your body and click on all of their items to remove them.
  4. Grab.png Grab the person and click on the operating table to lay them down on it.
  5. Check the Crewmonitor.gif Operating Computer to ensure the patient is positioned properly; if the monitor does not show the patient's vitals, the surgery will not work.
  6. Clickdrag from the Entwenty.png anesthetic pump onto the patient to place the mask over their face and automatically enable their internals.
    1. Alternatively, pick up a BreathingMask.png medical mask and Anesthetics.png sleeping agent.
    2. Clickdrag their body onto yours to view their inventory. Place the medical mask on their mask slot and the tank of nitrous on their back.
    3. Clickdrag their body onto yours once again to refresh the window. A new option called Set Internals will appear towards to bottom. Clicking it will turn on the anesthetics after a short while.
  7. Examine the patient until it reports that they are unconscious, alternatively view the Crewmonitor.gif Operating Computer until their status reads 'Non-Responsive'.
  8. Make sure you're set on the Help.png Help intent.
  9. Use a sink to wash your hands. Unclean hands can result in an infected wound. This is treatable with ointment.

Surgery List

There are many different types of surgeries that can be performed. Sometimes it will be necessary to have the patient hooked up to an IV or someone on standby to inject medications during the procedure.

Opening a Surgical Site

The first steps of most surgeries.

  • NOTE: Steps 3-5 can be replaced with one use of an Scalpmanager.png IMS if one is available to you. Steps 3 and 4 can be replaced with one use of a Laserscalp.png Laser Scalpel.
  1. (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
  2. Aim for the location in the Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
  3. Use the Scalpel.png scalpel to create an incision.
  4. Use the Hemostat.png hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
  5. Use your Retractor.png retractors to lift up the skin.


For internal work in chest and skull only:

  1. Use the Saw.png bone saw to cut through the bone.
  2. Use your Retractor.png retractors to move the bone aside.

GHETTO:

  • Scalpel.png Scalpel - Knife 50%, glass shard 20%
  • Laserscalp.png Laser Scalpel - Level 1 75%, Level 2 85%, Level 3 95%, energy sword 5%
  • Hemostat.png Hemostat - Cable coil 75%, mousetrap 20%
  • Retractor.png Retractor - Crowbar 75%, fork 50%
  • Saw.png Surgical Saw - Hatchet 75%

Closing a Surgical Site

The final steps of most surgeries.

  1. Aim for the location in the Damage zone.png Damage Zone.

If you had to use the Saw.png bone saw earlier (chest/head):

  1. Use your Retractor.png retractors to put the bones back into place.
  2. Apply Bone gel.png bone gel to mend their ribcage/skull unless the bone was fractured during the sawing phase, in which case, conduct bone repair before continuing.

Then after the above (or if it was not required):

  1. Use the Cautery.png cautery to seal the incision.

GHETTO:

  • Retractor.png Retractor - Crowbar 75%
  • Bone gel.png Bone Gel - Screwdriver 75%
  • Cautery.png Cautery - Cigarette 75%, lighter 50%, welder 25%

Bone Repair

The mending of broken bones and fractures.

  • NOTE: Steps 3-5 can be replaced with one use of a Boneclamp.png Boneclamp if one is available to you.
  1. (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
  2. Perform Opening a Surgical Site.
  3. Ensure the target limb doesn't have any damage, otherwise the bone will break again.
  4. Apply Bone gel.png bone gel to the broken bone.
  5. Use the Bone setter.png bone setter to put the bone in place.
  6. Apply more Bone gel.png bone gel.
  7. Perform Closing a Surgical Site.

GHETTO:

  • Bone gel.png Bone Gel - Screwdriver 75%
  • Bone setter.png Bone Setter - Wrench 75%

  3. Cut the skin with your Scalpel.png scalpel.
  4. Use your Hemostat.png hemostat to mend their vocal cords.
  5. Use your Retractor.png retractors to put the skin back in place.
  6. Cauterize the wound with the Cautery.png cautery.

GHETTO:

  • Scalpel.png Scalpel - Knife 75%, glass shard 50%

  3. If patient has Limb Stump, use Saw.png Circular Saw to cut it off, otherwise skip this step.
  4. Attach the appropriate limb, either mechanical or organic.
  5. Use Hemostat.pngHemostat to reconnect the nerves.
  6. Use a Traumakit.png trauma kit if the patient requires one (may need to be applied to either the new limb, or the 'parent' body part it was attached to).
  7. Ensure the patient is able to manipulate their new limb before releasing them.

Brain-stem reattachment

This surgery is useful for undoing decapitation.

  1. (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
  2. Perform the steps in Opening a Surgical Site for the head.
  3. Use the Fixovein.png FixOVein to mend the blood vessels on the target's brainstem.
  4. Use the Drill.png surgical drill to drill around the target's brainstem. (This causes a skull fracture.)
  5. Use your Hemostat.png hemostat to pick out bone chips from around the target's brainstem.
  6. Use the Fixovein.png FixOVein to fuse the target's brainstem.
