At Texas Children's, we know all about
helping children and their families through stressful times like
surgeries.
Not only does Texas Children's offer
excellent medical and surgical care, we also help take care of the
emotional needs of your child. We can help you reassure your child,
but no one knows your son or daughter better than you. In fact, you
play the most important role in preparing your child for surgery
and helping to make his or her experience at Texas Children's
a positive one.
If your child is scheduled for same day surgery,
that means your child comes to the hospital, has surgery and goes
home on the same day.
If your child is scheduled for same day admission,
that means your child is
admitted to the hospital after surgery. Your child will be admitted to
a hospital room or Intensive
Care Unit for an overnight stay or longer if needed.
Same day surgery is
performed in two locations - the third floor of the
West Tower and the
seventh floor of the
Clinical Care Center.
Your child’s surgeon and the operating room team will determine the
most appropriate location for your child.
