Your Child’s Surgery

Day surgery

If your child is expected to go home on the same day as their surgery, they’ll go to the Short Stay Surgery unit.

Your child will spend at least 1 hour on the Short Stay Surgery unit after surgery but may need to stay longer. Your child will be able to leave the hospital when:

  • they can drink fluids and don’t throw up
  • their pain is controlled with medicine taken by mouth​
