Surgery
A Guide to Surgery In General
All surgery requires the set of medical tools in the Operating Theatre, along with a table (a surgical table gives no negative results). In general, only Medical Doctors 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.
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! However, you have a 1/3 chance per step to horribly mess someone up rather than actually fix them. A roller bed will also, and only has a 1/4 chance of messing up. Be very careful.
Surgical Tools
Surgical tools are very hard to get and it is best to keep them in the operating theatre. The following are the standard surgical tools most doctors will need:
- MMI
- surgical drill
- scalpel
- circular saw
- hemostat
- cautery
- retractors
- bone setter
- bone gel
- Файл:Autopsy scanner.png autopsy scanner
- sleeping agent
- medical mask
- sterile mask
- latex gloves
Prepping for Surgery
- Find a suitable operating table, unless you're willing to risk Ghetto Surgery.
- Make sure you're wearing latex gloves and a sterile mask.
- Ask the person to strip, or click+drag them onto your body and click on all of their items to remove them.
- Grab the person and click on the operating table to lay them down on it.
- Pick up a medical mask and sleeping agent.
- Click+drag their body onto yours to view their inventory. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make sure you're set on the Help intent.
NOTE: IF ANYONE IS PULLING THE PATIENT, SURGERY WILL MESS UP. MAKE SURE NO ONE IS PULLING THE PATIENT.
Bone Surgery
Mending Bones
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the afflicted limb in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Use the scalpel to cut.
- Use the hemostat to stop any potential bleeding. Note you do not need to do this for the head.
- Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
- Apply bone gel to the broken bone.
- Use the bone setter to put the bone in place.
- Apply more bone gel.
- Use the cautery to seal the incision.
Eye Surgery
Fixing Blindness
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's eyes in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin around them with your scalpel.
- Use your retractors to lift up the eyes.
- Use your hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
- Use your cautery to seal the wound.
Brain Surgery
Ripping out the Grey Matter
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's head in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Use a scalpel to cut back the flesh.
- Circular saw the skull open.
- Cut the connective tissue with your scalpel.
- Cut the spine with your Circular saw.
- The brain will pop out. At this point, depending on what's going on, you have a few options:
- Place it in an MMI and give it to a Roboticist for Borgification.
- Store it in a nearby freezer crate.
- Assuming you've done the above steps again on another patient to swap brains:
Appendectomy
Appendix Removal
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's groin in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel.
- Use your hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
- Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
- Use your scalpel to cut out the appendix.
- Use your hemostat to extract the appendix.
- (Optional) Dispose of the newly extracted appendix.
- Cauterize the wound with the cautery.
Alien Larva Extraction
Alien Extraction
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's chest in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel.
- Use your hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
- Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
- Use your scalpel to cut open the stomach.
- Use your retractors to remove the larva.
- Use your hemostat to remove debris.
- (Optional) Dispose of the dead larva.
- Cauterize the wound with the cautery.
Facial Reconstruction Surgery
Fixing Faces
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's mouth not head in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel.
- Use your hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
- Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
- Use your hemostat to reshape the face and vocal chords.
- Use your retractors to pull skin back into place.
- Cauterize the wound with the cautery.
Implant Removal
Taking Things Out
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the implant location on the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel.
- Use your hemostat to stop any potential bleeding.
- Use your retractors to lift up the skin.
- Use your hemostat to stop bleeding. (May not be needed)
- Use your hemostat to extract the implant. This may take several goes.
- Cauterize the wound with the cautery.
Limb Replacement Surgery
Making People Whole
- (Optional) Complete Prepping for Surgery.
- Aim for the patient's affected (missing) limb using the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the flesh with your scalpel.
- Use your hemostat to stop most of the bleeding.
- Use your retractors to reshape the area.
- Use the cautery to allow a limb to be attached.
- Attach the appropriate robotic limb from Robotics.
Missing hands and feet cannot be replaced, and the whole limb must be removed. To remove a limb, aim for the limb and use a circular saw.
Robotic limbs are tougher than normal limbs, and do not count towards overall damage. However, they can only be repaired by welders (for brute damage) or wires (for burn damage), and malfunction if damaged. Robotic limbs explode when they take too much damage.
Autopsy
Talking to the Dead
- Place the corpse onto the operating table.
- Aim for the patient's affected area in the Файл:Damage zone.png Damage Zone.
- Cut the skin with your scalpel (the chest may require two cuts).
- Use the Файл:Autopsy scanner.png autopsy scanner to scan the area.
- Right-click the autopsy scanner and select print data.
- Repeat the above steps for other affected areas.
- (Optional but Recommended) Hand in the results to Security.
- Wrap the corpse in a body bag and take it to the morgue, or to be cloned.
