Once surgery is planned for your child, you can expect a phone call from the pre-surgical testing center. A registered nurse will obtain necessary medical information about your child and determine if your child will need to come in for pre-operative testing. Most pediatric operations will be performed under general anesthesia unless otherwise indicated. Many cases do not require pre-operative testing. If, however, your child's surgeon has ordered laboratory tests, the nurse will inform you during the pre-operative telephone interview call.
