Surgery: Difference between revisions

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

[[Medical_items#Surgical_Tools|Information about every tool used in surgery can be found here.]]

Step 1: [[File:OpTable.gif|Operating Table]] Place the patient onto the '''operating table'''. Do this by selecting '''grab''' [[File:Intent_Grab.png]] 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''' [[File:Intent_Help.png]] intent or your surgery will fail.  

Step 1.1 [[File:LongIslandIcedTea.png|Ethanol]] (Optional) Splash on, spray or apply a patch with [[Guide_to_chemistry#Miner's Salve|'''Miner's Salve''']] (+10%), [[Guide_to_chemistry#Sterilizine|'''Sterilizine''']] (+20%), [[Guide_to_Drinks|'''alcoholic drinks''']] (up to +46%), or [[Beekeeping#The_fruits_of_our_labour|'''Honey''']] (+60%) to improve your success chance.  

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

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

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

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.

Step 3: [[File:Clone.gif|Cloning Pod]] Usually, you take the body to be cloned (this can be done without step 2).

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.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Eyes'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

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. [[Abductor]]s' tongues carry over their telepathy, but they prevent normal speech.

[[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] '''Target: Mouth'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_crotch.gif]] '''Target: Groin'''

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

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|Organ Manipulation]] type surgery, even for arms. Cybernetic implants can be printed by [[Robotics]] or the [[medbay]] techfab after research.  

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]][[File:Hud_target_head.gif]][[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Chest/Head/Eyes/Arms'''

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.  

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]][[File:Hud_target_eyes.gif]] '''Target: Chest/Eyes'''

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]].

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

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.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

Implanting this allows for you to spit neurotoxin.

[[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] '''Target: Mouth'''

[[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] '''Target: Mouth'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_mouth.gif]] '''Target: Mouth'''

Implanting this allows for you to lay xeno eggs.

[[File:Hud_target_crotch.gif]] '''Target: Groin'''

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.

[[File:Hud_target_chest.gif]] '''Target: Chest'''

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

[[File:Hud_target_head.gif]] '''Target: Head'''

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

Replace a limb with a robot part. The head, torso, arms, and legs can all be augmented. Augmenting torso makes you immune to appendicitis and xeno larva.<br> Robot limbs are tougher. They need welding to "heal" brute damage and wires for burn damage, and cannot be otherwise healed. EMP pulses will hurt augmented humans.

The target is forced into a symbiotic relationship with a virus. It makes the virus stay at stage 1 where it's usually harmless, but still infective to others .<br> Note: The target must already be infected before you can initiate this surgery with the drapes. The target must be dosed with at least 5 units of [[Guide to chemistry#Virus Food|Virus Food]], [[Guide to chemistry#Formaldehyde|Formaldehyde]], and [[Guide to chemistry#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]] for the "Viral Bond" step to work. This surgery will not hide the virus icon from medical huds.
