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.

Ghetto Surgery

Don't. It's not worth it. No one wants to see blood, guts, and a sweaty physician trying to extract an appendix from someone on the bar table.

Surgical Tools

Surgery tools aren't common and are pretty much only found in the operating rooms.

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:

Infection

Place on 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. Pick up a BreathingMask.png medical mask and Anesthetics.png sleeping agent.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Examine the patient until it reports that they are unconscious.
  10. Make sure you're set on the Help.png Help intent.
  11. Use a sink to wash your hands. Unclean hands can result in an infected wound. This is treatable with ointment.

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

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.
  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.

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.

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.

  1. (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
  2. Aim for the patient's affected (missing) limb using the Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
  3. Attach the appropriate limb, either mechanical or organic.
  4. Use the Hemostat.png hemostat if the limb is organic to reattach tendons and muscles.
  5. 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).
  6. Ensure the patient is able to manipulate their new limb before releasing them.

Internal Organs Osteopathy

Mending damaged organs such as lungs, liver, and brain.

Maxiumum size of item that fits inside:

  • Head - tiny (i.e. pen, paper, NIF)
  • Abdomen - pocket-size (i.e. most surgical tools)
  • Chest - small (i.e. bone saw, revolver)
  1. Aim for the chest, abdomen or head in the Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
