I have to say I do like the current system, as while it might not be the most intuitive to learn it allows for very speedy action when you understand it. Well, with the notable exception of how fiddly eye surgery is. Not sure of any ways around it, however.
The only things I can think of to address the problem are themselves needlessly fiddly like adding more areas to the hit intent thing, as if it isn't already mostly useless outside of surgery as it is.
Perhaps something of a prompt after use of a tool which says what tool to use next for a surgical path? "You could use the saw to begin heart removal, or use the scalpel to begin removing the pancreas" etc.
I dunno, there's at least two intents not being used for torso surgery yet. Also, it'd probably involve a massive refactoring but perhaps surgical tools could be clicked to cycle through surgical intent-- ok no that idea is bad I'm leaving it in the post but adding another intent system is worse than a pop-up menu
