Surgery

All surgery requires a set of medical tools, typically found in the Operating Theatre, along with an operating table.

Surgical Tools

Information about every tool used in surgery can be found here.

For every tools there are ghetto analogues. Using them lowers chances of performing a surgical step correctly, wounding your patient. Hover your cursor over the item's picture to see its name. Next to the items are the success rates.

Beginning of any Operation

Step 1: Place the patient onto the operating table (or have them just climb onto the table). Do this by selecting grab intent. Then click the patient twice in a row until you have an aggressive grab. Then left click the operating table to place the patient on it. Switch back to help intent or your surgery will fail.

• If there is no operating table, you can use: stasis bed (80%), any table (80%), any bed (70%), ask them to lie on the floor (50%).

Step 1.1 (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with Miner's Salve (+10%), Sterilizine (+20%), alcoholic drinks (up to +46%), or Honey (+60%) to improve your success chance.

• The stronger the alcohol, the more effective! The formula is: 0.1*(booze power/65). For example: Ethanol gives +10% success chance, Manly Dorf +15%, Bacchus' Blessing +46%.

• Note that increases from the surface used and chemicals applied are multiplicatively applied to a tool's success chance, so adding sterilizer for a 20% success bonus while operating on an operating table or stasis bed will increase a tool's success chance from for example 80% to 96% rather than 80% to 100%.
• Success boosts from chemicals additionally will not stack with other chemicals, only the highest increase is applied.

Step 2: Exposed the patient's appropriate body part. This could vary from simply having the patient take off their headwear, to having them fully strip (This can be performed at any point in the surgery prior to Step 7, but it's faster that they strip rather than have you slowly strip them).

Step 2: Sedate the patient using a tank of anesthetic and a breath mask or Morphine (or getting them past "80"). Keeping your patient awake will result in a -50% deduction to the chance of success. Pain killers such as (and currently only) Miner's Salve and the alcoholic drink Painkiller half this deduction to -25%.

Step 4: Place drapes or bedsheet over the part of body you are operating.

Step 5: Switch to help intent. Pro tip: Disarm intent will fail every surgery step.

Step 6: Aim at the appropriate body part (important!).

Step 7: Do the surgery (see the steps below!). Afterwards congratulate the patient and kick them out.

To abort a surgery, hold a cautery in one hand and drapes in the other, and use the drapes on the patient.

Procedures requiring no research or computer

Organ Manipulation

This surgery covers operations to remove/insert organs (brain, heart, appendix), lizard/cat tails, cyber implants and alien embryos.
The body part to target depends on which procedure you want to do.
See below for details about each procedure.

Procedure	Ghetto Analogues
Step 1: Scalpel: Make an incision	(65%) (45%) (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 2: Retractor: Retract the skin	(45%) (35%)
Step 3 (Head/Chest only): Circular Saw: Saw through bones	(65%) (50%) (50%) (35%) (25%) (75%)
Step 4: Hemostat: Clamp the bleeders	(60%) (35%) (15%)
Step 5: Scalpel: Make an incision	(65%) (45%) (75%) Any other sharp item (30%)
Step 6 Remove: Hemostat: Remove something	(55%)
Step 6 Insert: Hands: insert something
Step 7: Cautery: Seal the wound	(90%) (70%) Any other hot item(30%)

Ordinary organs that require Organ Manipulation

These organs are present in every normal human, and can be removed or transferred through the Organ Manipulation surgery type.

Brain

The source of consciousness, and where the player actually resides. Removing the brain from a body will make it unclonable through normal means. The brain can also be inserted into an MMI to allow it to speak, and to prepare it to be inserted into a Cyborg or an AI. Or it can be transferred into another body, which can then be cloned or defibrillated with the new host.

Changelings' brains are vestigial, and they can survive without them. Beheading a changeling will not prevent one from reviving.

Target: Head

Note: Brains can also be removed by beheading the target and using a sharp object on the head to extract the brain.

Note: There's also a non-surgery method to put a brain back in:

Step 1: Place the patient onto the operating table.

Step 2: Cram their brain back into their skull.

Step 3: Usually, you take the body to be cloned (this can be done without step 2).

Heart

Required for basic survival, removing it will cause a heart attack, dealing huge amounts of oxygen damage until a new, beating, heart is inserted, or death. This can be delayed with epinephrine, if you need more time.

On their own, hearts only beat for a short time when removed from a living body. To get a heart beating again, click on it while it's in your hand.

Heart attacks can also be induced by initropidril, and a heart attack may continue if you insert a still heart in a patient. In either case, to restore the heart to normal functionality, the patient needs to either be defibrillated or receive an electric shock.

Target: Chest

Eyes

They're required for sight; removing them will, obviously, turn the patient blind. Some races' eyes can see in the dark.

Target: Eyes

Lungs

Required for breathing. Removing the lungs will cause the patient to suffocate, regardless of air or internals. Some species have mutant lungs that don't need air: transplanting them onto an breathing race will transfer this property.

Target: Chest

Tongue

Affects speech. Lacking a tongue will make speech very hard to comprehend, while mutant tongues such as lizards' or flypeoples' will give the patient the race's speech quirks. Abductors' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

Target: Mouth

Appendix

Removing it cures appendicitis and prevents it in the future, too.

Target: Groin

Other organs that require Organ Manipulation

There are also non-natural organs which can be added to give bonuses or to harm the patient in a few cases.

Cybernetic Implants

These offer benefits to the patient at the cost of being very vulnerable to EMPs, with malfunctions ranging from eye-flashing to heart attacks. Cybernetic implants always require the Organ Manipulation type surgery, even for arms. Cybernetic implants can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Target: Chest/Head/Eyes/Arms

Cybernetic Organs

Cybernetic organs replace organs entirely. You need to remove the corresponding organ first to make room for the cybernetic organ. They are vulnerable to EMPs. Cybernetic organs can be printed by Robotics or the medbay techfab after research.

Target: Chest/Eyes

Xenomorph Embryo

An alien larva growing inside the patient. If not removed quickly enough, it will gib the patient and try to escape, growing into a dangerous Xenomorph.

Target: Chest

Plasma Vessel

Implanting this allows for your plasma count to be raised. It allows you to plant alien weeds and heal from standing on them, and transfer plasma to others.

Target: Chest

Neurotoxin Gland

Implanting this allows for you to spit neurotoxin.

Target: Mouth

Acid Gland

Implanting this allows for you to spit corrosive acid at an object, which will remove it slowly over-time.

Target: Mouth

Hive Node

Implanting this allows for you to speak with others who also have this (using .a). It will also stop NPC xenos from attacking you.

Target: Head

Resin Spinner

Implanting this allows for you to secrete resin to create walls and nests.

Target: Mouth

Egg Sac

Implanting this allows for you to lay xeno eggs.

Target: Groin

Legion Soul

Implanting this will give you a one-time full-heal; if you do not use it manually it will auto-use when you enter crit.

Target: Chest

Romerol Tumor

A latent infection in the patient's head, caused by Romerol. If the patient dies while affected by Romerol, he will eventually rise as an aggressive Zombie. This will repeat as long as the infection lasts; removing it surgically, cutting the head off, or gibbing the corpse will prevent resurrection.

Romerol is infectious, and anyone hit by a zombie while unprotected will also acquire a Romerol Tumor.

Target: Head

Prosthesis Organ Manipulation

Augmented limbs have special surgery steps for Organ Manipulation that are completed with mechanical tools. Unlike all other procedures, this can be performed on yourself with self-surgery.
