Surgery is a medical system that can be used to heal patients, as well as augment or cripple them, depending on how you're feeling. Despite being the namesake of the {{job|Surgeon}}, surgery can be performed by anyone with the wrong tools, even the {{job|Clown}}. Best hope you've got good insurance.

== Why do Surgery? ==

As any job working in {{department|Medical}}, surgery is something that you usually don't need to do too often. However, there is a few reasons where surgery is incredibly useful to know how to perform, and what you can perform it with:

* If {{department|Science}} unlocks research for prosthetics that people want, they'll usually ask in medbay for the surgery

* If you are a {{job|Roboticist}}, knowing how to remove someone's brain if they want to become a {{job|Cyborg}} is essential

* Similarly, you need to know how to remove and implant a brain to transfer someone to a new body as the {{job|Surgeon}}

* To heal patients that have amounts of damage that are infeasible to treat while dead, and Cryogenics is not available for some reason

* If a Changeling decides it's hungry and goes on a killing spree, it's nearly impossible to revive patients without surgery due to the high genetic damage

* To stick something in someone's abdomen, such as for safekeeping, for fun, or to blow them up with a bomb

* To help your fellow {{department|Syndicate}} member become particularly robust by installing energy swords as legs

* To be able to install the plentiful amount of prosthetics and surgical implants you find as a {{job|Salvage Specialist}}

== Organs ==

Organs are individual ~~systems~~ in the body that make different systems function. All species share a common set of organs, though some species have unique variants with special properties. Notably, implanting a variant of an organ from another species (such as Shadekin eyes in another species) will grant the relevant effects to the patient if they didn't have it before (meaning implanting Shadekin eyes in a human patient will grant the patient night vision, for example).

Organs are individual parts in the body that make different systems function. All species share a common set of organs, though some species have unique variants with special properties. Notably, implanting a variant of an organ from another species (such as Shadekin eyes in another species) will grant the relevant effects to the patient if they didn't have it before (meaning implanting Shadekin eyes in a human patient will grant the patient night vision, for example). Some organs may be in different places or absent on some species; common examples are Shadekin, which have no lungs, and Laspi, which have their brain in their abdomen rather than their head.

When an organ is removed via surgery, the corresponding functionality is lost until a replacement is installed. As an example, removing the eyes from the patient causes them to become blind. Replacing an organ restores full functionality. Contrary to common sense, removing an organ that might be considered essential doesn't kill the body. You can remove the brain and heart, for example, and the body itself will continue to live on.
