A chaperone may come with you to the hospital to accompany you to your appointment. For an appointment with a child, both parents may come with you.

Children can react differently to anaesthesia. Patience is important here. After a short period of time, your child will become more aware of the environment again.

For the first few hours after the procedure, you should not give your child anything to drink or eat. The nurse will tell you when you can give some water. A little later the surgeon will come to the room and explain the course of the operation. He will give additional consultation and prescribe any medication. He will also prepare for you the forms related to school absences, circumstance leave or for your hospitalization insurance.
