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.
The evening before or on the day of the operation, the child should take a thorough shower or bath, wash their hair and cut their fingernails. Nail varnish and artificial nails must be removed.
No body jewellery (e.g. rings, piercings or necklaces) may be worn on the day of the operation.
No make-up or body lotion may be used on the day of the operation.
Please note the fasting times. These will be communicated during the consultation.
