Children's Health

Preoperative Visit with Your Child's Surgeon

This is the time to ask questions: What are the expected results? What are the possible risks and complications? How long will the surgery take?

Hospital Visit/Preoperative Clinic

Touring the hospital before surgery can help your child see the sights, sounds, and events they will experience the day of surgery. It is a nonthreatening, often reassuring, way to learn about the hospital.

Latex Allergy

Symptoms of latex allergy include watery or itchy eyes, wheezing, hives, flushing or a skin rash, itching, or swelling.

Understanding Informed Consent

You will be asked to sign an informed consent form. It states in detail that you understand the risks and benefits of your child's surgery.
