If the procedure deals with standard and alpha cyberware or standard bioware, the lack of a surgical plan does not change the TN of the surgery. Doing a beta cyberware or a cultured bioware procedure without a plan adds a +1 modifier. Doing a delta cyber procedure without a plan adds a +4 modifier. There's no need to plan for trauma and a cosmetic procedure without a plan has a +1 modifier. Any Doctor wishing to apply positive surgical options to a procedure must have a surgical plan completed prior to the operation. Furthermore, surgical plans need to be prepared by the operating doctor. Otherwise, there is a +1 tn per grade for working with another doctor's plan: +1 for basic, +2 for alpha, so forth. This reflects the doctor's lack of direct, intimate knowledge of how the plan was constructed.

The following Positive Surgical Option has also been added: Careful Procedure (Cosmetic, Implant, Therapeutic, Transimplant, Threshold: See Rules) This option is treated as having a Threshold of +2 during the Planning stage, thus adding +2 to the Base Time Modifier. During Surgery, however, instead of adding to the TN, it reduces the TN by 1. In other words: It makes the plan harder to do and take longer, but it makes the surgery easier.

They do not allow the planning of surgeries for other focuses. For example, an implant clinic cannot be used to plan for a bioware procedure, nor can a standard grade clinic plan (easily) for delta surgery. For every grade above your gear you're planning, there is a +2 modifier. For example, if you have standard grade facilities, planning for a beta grade surgery results in a +4 tn modifier. If you have an alpha grade clinic, preparing for beta results in just a +2 modifier. The Built-in planning facilities are limited to a single doctor per rating of the clinic. All doctors assisting on the plan must have Biotech (base) at 4 and Medicine (base) at 4 or better. While a facility is being used for planning, it cannot be used for surgeries or other procedures. Only one plan may be underway at any time. All normal leadership limitations of surgery apply to plan-teams. The leader of the plan-team must be the leader of the surgery. For more planning flexibility, invest in a planning network. Planning cannot be done outside of a clinic or planning network for anything above standard grade ware.
