More realistic surgical rules can be found in GURPS Bio-Tech. In particular, there is an optional rule for internal bleeding and internal wounds, which can only be healed after you first use Surgery to "convert" them to normal damage. (Without that, they will never heal.) However, even then, the Surgery skill is used to make healing possible -- it does not restore HP, because that would be completely unrealistic.
There is? Where? I'm sure I've never seen that and can't find it in my copy...
