Update History

Surgery is a feature in Growtopia that allows players to perform various types of surgeries on other players using various tools. It was first introduced in the Growtopia General Hospital update on November 21, 2013. It introduced a surgical pack costing 7,000 gems consisting of seven tools, namely, Surgical Sponge, Surgical Scalpel, Surgical Antibiotics, Surgical Stitches, Surgical Splint, Surgical Antiseptic and Surgical Anesthetic each with its unique ability when performing a surgery.

The pack was updated during Anniversary Week 2017 on January 6, 2017, adding six new tools, namely, Surgical Lab Kit, Surgical Defibrillator, Surgical Pins, Surgical Clamp, Surgical Transfusion and Surgical Ultrasound.

On June 13, 2019, during the Blocktor's Orders! update, x10 Med-A-Check and a Train-E was added to the pack. In addition, it introduced 'maladies' and the Dr. title, rewarded for successfully performing surgery 5,000 times (excluding on Train-E).

As of Player Appreciation Week 2022 Day 5 on February 13, 2020. Heart Monitor, Hospital Bed, and Med-A-Check are no longer available in this pack, and added two additional Surgery-related packs in the Growtopia Store, Surgery Starter Pack and Master Surgeon's Tool Bag

Performing Surgery

A player can perform surgery on another player if the latter is standing on a Hospital Bed or Starship Sickbay Bed, and is not currently recovering. By using the Wrench and clicking the "Perform Surgery" button, the player can perform surgery on the other player. A Surg-E or Train-E is also available for players to be able to perform surgery without having other players as their patients.

Item Pack

There are three different packs, each pack contains different items/amounts:

• The Surgical Kit, which contains 5 of all the needed tools, is available in the Store for 12,000 gems. It also provides a Surg-E.
• The Master Surgeon's Tool Bag, which contains 20 of all the needed tools, is available in the Store for 45,000 gems. It also provides 5 Surg-E.
• The Surgery Starter Pack, unlike Surgical Kit and Master Surgeon's Tool Bag, this pack does not provide any tools and is available in the Store for 5,000 gems. It provides a Heart Monitor, Hospital Bed, 5 Train-E, Scrub Cap, Scrub Mask, Scrub Top, and Scrub Pants.

Tools

The following are the tools needed in performing a surgery. Carrying every single tool is not a requirement to complete a surgery; however, it is advised that players carry each tool in case they are needed during the surgery.

Tool	Usage
Surgical Sponge	Used when the surgery screen says "You can't see what you are doing!" In this case, the player is forced to use the Surgical Sponge. Can also be used when it says "It's becoming hard to see."
Surgical Splint	Used to fix fractures. If the patient has a broken bone, use this to remove it.
Surgical Antiseptic	Used to clean the operation site. If the operation site is unsanitary, this can be used to make it clean. If not used, it may increase the patient's temperature.
Surgical Antibiotics	Used when the patient has a fever. If the surgery screen says "Patient's fever is climbing," this can be used to lower the temperature.
Surgical Anesthetic	Used to put a patient to sleep, turning its Awake status to Unconscious. Used before Surgical Scalpel, if not, the player will fail the surgery.
Surgical Scalpel	Used to cut open the patient. This tool is usually used until the "Fix it" button has appeared. It is also to be used before fixing a shattered bone.
Surgical Stitches	Used to stop the patient from bleeding or close up incisions. This tool is usually used when the patient is losing blood before a Surgical Scalpel has been used or after the "Fix it" button when the player's incisions need to be stitched up.
Surgical Lab Kit	Used to unlock Surgical Antibiotics. Surgical Antibiotics cannot be used before using this tool.
Surgical Clamp	Used to clamp up blood vessels. If the patient is losing blood before the "Fix it" button can be used, this tool can be used to stop the patient from losing blood. It can only be used if the patient has at least one incision.
Surgical Pins	Used to fix shattered bones. When used, a shattered bone turns into a broken bone. This item can only be used when the patient has at least one incision.
Surgical Transfusion	Used to transfuse several pints of blood into a patient. When the pulse of a player is weak or extremely weak, this will turn the pulse back to steady or strong.
Surgical Ultrasound	Used to diagnose a patient. The player will not know what condition the patient has if this is not used. It will reveal physical issues of the patient and other tools needed for the surgery.
Surgical Defibrillator	Used to shock a patient back to life. If the patient's heart has stopped, this must be given to the patient otherwise surgery cannot continue.
Surgical Love Mallet	Used to remove the 'Love Struck' status that only appears during Valentine's Week.
Empty Surgery Tray	Unobtainable by players, used as an icon for when the player is missing a tool or if a tool is unavailable to use.
Med-A-Check	Not a tool. Used to check if a player has a malady. Will not be consumed if the player does not have a malady.

Skill Fail/Surgeon Skill

Skill Fail is a randomly-generating mechanism designed to make surgery more difficult. During surgery, the surgeon may fail to use a tool properly. In the event of a skill fail, the tool either does nothing, does the opposite, or causes other negative effects. A player can improve their Surgeon Skill by completing surgeries (up to skill 100 for 100 surgeries). If a player's Surgeon Skill is higher, the player will receive less skill fails. Players with a low Surgeon Skill will face more skill fails, and it simulates the learning process of becoming better at surgery. Players with a Surgeon Skill of 100 can still face skill fails, however, the chances are relatively low.

Items like Skill Spice, Tea and Exquisite Bone Saw give the player mods that further halve the chance of skill fails.

The following messages will appear if the player has received a skill fail for a particular tool used, and some skill fails cause the conditions to worsen.

• Surgical Lab Kit - "You contaminated the sample." No effect.
• Surgical Antibiotics - "This is the wrong medication! The bacteria like it." Climbing temperature climbs faster and falling temperature falls slower.
• Surgical Transfusion - "You spilled all of it! Kind of gross." Makes it harder to see.
• Surgical Antiseptic - "You spilled antiseptic on your shoes. They are very clean now." No effect.
• Surgical Sponge - "You somehow managed to eat the sponge." No effect.
• Surgical Stitches - "You somehow tied yourself up in stitches!" Makes it harder to see.
• Surgical Anesthetic - "You end up inhaling all the anesthetic yourself. You feel woozy." Makes it harder to see.
• Surgical Ultrasound - "You scanned the nurse with your ultrasound!" No effect.
• Surgical Defibrillator - "You electrocuted yourself!" No effect.
• Surgical Splint - "You ate a splint, good job!" or "You cut the patient." Causes bleeding, makes it harder to see.
• Surgical Pins - "You jabbed the pin through the artery!"
• Surgical Clamp - "The clamp fell out of your hand, oh well."
• Surgical Scalpel - "This will leave a nasty scar, but you managed to cut the right place." Bleeding is increased.
• Fix it - "You screwed it up! Try again."
• Med-A-Check - There is no skill fail for Med-A-Check
• Surgical Love Mallet - "You hit yourself on the knee."

Types of Problems

The patient can have a multitude of conditions which must be addressed.

• If the patient's temperature is rising, Surgical Lab Kit must be used to unlock the Surgical Antibiotics which can then be given to the patient.
• If the patient has a weak pulse, Surgical Transfusion can be given to the patient.
• If the patient's heart has stopped, Surgical Defibrillator must be given to the patient.
• If the patient has any broken bones, Surgical Splint can be given to the patient to repair them.
• If the patient is losing blood while incisions exist, either Surgical Stitches (reduces incisions and blood loss) or Surgical Clamp (reduces blood loss less than stitches) can be given to the patient. If the patient is losing blood when there are no incisions, only Surgical Stitches can be used. Using stitches when there is only 1 incision removes that incision and all blood loss.
• Bleeding causes the operation side to become dirtier and the pulse to become weaker. If the patient is losing blood and the operation site is unsanitary, a fever will develop due to infection and Surgical Antibiotics must be used.
• If the patient wakes up and not all incisions are patched, they will scream and flail, causing intense blood loss and difficulty in seeing. Using Surgical Anesthetic early can prevent this.

Surgery Success and Failure

To finish a surgery, the patient must have the diagnosis fixed, all bones fixed, have no incisions, have no visible bleeding, and have a body temperature of less than 100.5. Pulse strength and consciousness state are not considered when calculating the success of an operation.

Ways to fail surgery:

• "The patient was not resuscitated in time." Surgical Defibrillator was not used within 2 moves after the heart stopped.
• "You just stabbed an awake patient." Surgical Scalpel was used while the patient was awake.
• "The patient has bled out." Blood loss has caused the pulse to fall below "Extremely weak".
• "The patient has succumbed to infection." The patient's temperature has risen above 110 degrees.

Possible diagnoses

All steps shown below are to be performed after the Surgical Ultrasound (Surgical Lab Kit in some cases) displays the problem. Ideally, most pre-existing conditions should be addressed before diagnosis.

Angel of Mercy's Wings and Dr. Title

During the Blocktor's Orders! update on 13 June 2019, the Angel of Mercy's Wings was added as a prize for successfully completing a vicious malady while equipping a Doctor's Blingin' Booties, Doctor's Blingin' Cap, Doctor's Blingin' Cross, Doctor's Blingin' Mask, Doctor's Blingin' Pants and Doctor's Blingin' Top, provided that they have completed 2,000 surgeries after the update was released (Train-E's do not count). In order to check the amount of surgeries left before obtaining the Angel of Mercy's Wings, one must equip the Doctor's Blingin' set while doing a vicious malady. Afterwards, a system message will appear on the amount of surgeries remaining. This does not consume the set.

To obtain the Dr. Title, the player needs to complete 3,000 surgeries while wearing the Angel of Mercy's Wings (progress is displayed in the description of the wings, for every surgery done, it counts as an Angelic Healing). This will add "Dr." before the player's name and change the color to red.

Additional Tips

• Before surgery, it is heavily advised that players have enough backpack space to collect their prize. Otherwise, they will fall on the ground, allowing other players to pick them up.
• A surgery is possible without the use of Surgical Antiseptic. This is not recommended for players with a low skill level.
• It is advised for players with a lower Surgeon Skill to perform easier surgeries. When the player has reached Surgeon Skill 100, they can attempt harder surgeries such as Massive Trauma.
• Using the Fix It button immediately is not required. Players can close up incisions before using the button, reducing the chances of failing.
• There are several items one can use that give various side benefits while performing surgery, as seen below:
