General contact

The UKBB day clinic is a department for outpatient surgery for children and adolescents. Patients come to the UKBB in the morning and can go home again in the evening. After the operation, our patients recover in the recovery room next to the operating theatre. Plan enough time for your stay and prepare well for your return.

Our highly qualified surgical teams consist of doctors, Carers and other specialists from various areas of the UKBB. These include Anaesthesiology, Orthopaedics, Surgery and Radiology. We all work together to ensure that our patients, young and old, are always well.
