Despite what TV teaches us, medicine isn't always clean, pretty and reliable. It can be messy, and surgery is no picnic. There's also the risk to life, need for equipment and a sterile environment, aftercare, and a doctor to perform it. Some characters luck out though: their Hero Insurance covers psychic surgery. Rather than open up the patient, the "doctor" sticks their hand into the patient, roots around, and then pulls it out with the problem well in hand. The best part? No scars, barely any blood, and a complete and instant recovery! The doctor may be using Psychic Powers (hence the trope name), incredibly advanced technology, a biological ability of their own, or outright magic. Hence the quotations around the word doctor earlier; the healer in question may not have any sort of medical degree, relying entirely on instinct or arcane/psychic training. Which is going to make any medical care when they're Brought Down to Normal... interesting. This far more invasive form of Healing Hands can, however, be used to harm. Badly. A healer without a Hippocratic oath may pull out a spine to stop an attacker or squeeze the heart to interrogate. Heck, being able to root around inside a person without surgical implements lends itself to so much Squick it's best not to think of it. (Which, of course, means someone has.) Claiming to have this ability is stock-in-trade for the Fake Faith Healer. |

In the Bas-Lag Cycle, Biothaumaturges use a combination of magic and plain old Mad Doctor surgery to "Remake" people with mechanical components or animal transplants. The magic side comes to the forefront when one practitioner answers a threat by starting to shove his hand into a man's chest like wet sand. | |

Mentioned but not used in The Dragon Doctors, a team of magical doctors. They were discussing possible options for removing an all-consuming sentient cancer from a patient. The problem was that psychic surgery requires bare hands, so getting rid of it with psychic surgery was out of the question. | |

Wearing the Cape: While it's never described in too much detail, Chakra and some other mentalist Breakthroughs can perform something called psychic surgery. It's more effective than ordinary surgery, and more importantly it bypasses most forms of Super-Toughness, allowing it to work on people who can't get normal surgery. | |

In One Hundred Years of Solitude, Fernanda del Carpio maintains contact with a group of supposed "psychic medics" who tell her that they'll telepathically operate on her. At some point, after arranging her room in a specific way and leaning down on her bed, Fernanda feels someone pressing a cold handkerchief to her mouth and passes out. When she wakes up she has a big ass scar on her torso... and there's a letter from the "psychic medics" near her table, saying that they did operate on her but the only thing they found wrong was a simple uterine problem that could be easily solved by a pessary. Turns out, Fernanda was so prudish while describing her symptoms, she misguided both the psychic medics and herself into believing her illness was something way worse. | |

Discussed in Dragon Age II: Isabella wishes Fenris had been on hand when her men got in a fight a week out from port and one of them wound up with a knife blade broken off in his shoulder, and his phasing powers would have allowed him to remove it easily.

This is Dr. Gentle's unique trick in the Triptych Continuum. Unicorns in the Continuum are limited by the rule of differentiation: a unicorn cannot use their telekinesis to move anything that is completely enclosed by something else. Gentle, however, has discovered the Differentiation Exception, a field tuning that lets him telekinetically manipulate an unborn foal inside the mother's womb. This talent has allowed him to save hundreds of lives and made him a minor celebrity. It's later revealed that this talent actually lets him completely ignore differentiation, letting him do things like reach into an enemy's chest and squeeze their heart. | |

In the Dreamblood Duology, Sharers heal injuries and maladies through the Dream Weaving of narcomancy by leading the patient into a dream that symbolizes their affliction, empowering it with magical dream-humours, and helping them resolve the dream in a way that represents them being healed.

Used in The Sharing Knife books for very delicate work (like nerve damage), some internal injuries, or when the one coming to aid is both really desperate and out of all other options. Ground manipulation can also be used offensively, such as when Dag ground-rips a section of a rogue Lakewalker's spinal cord, paralyzing him from the neck down. | |

The Black Magician Trilogy's healing magic works precisely this way - by making skin contact and re-arranging internal organs, putting bones together, and flushing out poisoned blood via the nearest available cut made by the healer. Using it offensively is theoretically possible, but wizards have access to far easier ways to kill non-wizards, and conscious wizards can easily maintain an 'inner shield' that blocks it, so in practice, it isn't done. Then the Sachakans invade and turn out to, while in possession of immense raw magical strength due to their use of Blood Magic, never have developed the healing technique... meaning they don't know to keep up the inner shield. | |

At the end of Man on the Moon, Andy Kaufman (Jim Carrey) travels to the Philippines to have his inoperable lung cancer treated by a man claiming this ability. He starts laughing hysterically when the "surgery" starts, apparently realizing it's just a trick. It doesn't work, clearly, as the next scene is of his funeral. Sadly Truth in Television-many people in the '70s and '80s, often, like Kaufman, with terminal diseases, were defrauded by such con men in the Philippines. | |

In Fate/stay night, Kirei Kotomine is known for being particularly skilled at psychic surgery, and he taught at least the basics to Rin. While his techniques can be used to kill people, they require too much time and concentration to use in combat. Prior to the events of the story, Kotomine uses these abilities to steal the Command Spells of Lancer's Master and transfer them to himself, and in the Heaven's Feel route he also uses them to tend to Sakura. In the later "all-ages" versions of the story, some "energy transfer" scenes that were originally performed through sex are replaced by Rin using psychic surgery to transplant part of Shirou's Magic Circuits to Saber (Fate), or part of her own Magic Crest to Shirou (Unlimited Blade Works). | |

The Medic from Team Fortress 2 uses the "advanced technology" variant, combined with Worst Aid. This man performs open chest surgery with his bare hands on a conscious patient (who assists in the procedure by holding his ribcage open), replaced said patient's heart after a "modification" he made caused the first one to explode, left a live bird inside someone's body cavity, and lost his medical license after removing a patient's entire skeleton... yet his ability to give the target of his medigun a temporary healing factor makes him vital to a team's success. | |

In the Doctor Who Eighth Doctor Adventures novel The Book of the Still, the Doctor is rendered Brainwashed and Crazy by a device that's been inserted into his brain. Fitz is shortly thereafter rendered conveniently intangible (among other things), and the Doctor instructs him to remove the device for him. Fitz is then somewhat perturbed to find his hand covered in slime, and the Doctor thanks him "for not taking a bigger handful", which one supposes must mean the Doctor is now undeniably brain-damaged. | |

Helena and Berna from The Voynich Hotel can do this, as they're a centuries-old witch (Helena) and a re-creation of said witch's sister (Berna).

In Elfquest, the healers' powers. The negative use is also shown, with corrupted former healer Winnowill, who creates twisted monsters through shaping them against their will. However some, like Tyldak (who she gives wings) asked her to do it. | |

James Randi appeared on The Tonight Show to demonstrate the hoax to Johnny Carson. He pulls out several pieces of chicken guts and jokingly puts some "back in" because the patient would need them. | |

In Vampire: The Requiem the vampires brainwashed by the VII covenant have the ability of "Psychic Surgery", which allows them to heal injuries in themselves and others by phasing their hands through flesh... or cause minor brain lesions to help brainwash other vampires into their covenant. The Tzimisce in Masquerade use this to create Body Horrors and servants. |
