Pediatric Surgery

Before surgery at Wayne UNC Health Care, your child will feel more comfortable because of our kid-friendly facilities and caring surgical team.

Designed for Children

Your little ones will appreciate our new surgical suite, where they can:

• Enjoy fun activities in preoperative and postoperative areas tailored to young patients
• Play games to ease fears
• Ride a PowerWheels vehicle or a push car to the operating room
• Take a favorite blanket or stuffed animal to the operating room
• Use stickers to decorate their anesthesia mask

Reducing Anxiety

Trust us to help your child feel as calm as possible before surgery. Dedicated nurses and board-certified anesthesiologists will explain the care plan in a child-friendly way. You can stay by your little one’s side as long as possible before treatment.

Outpatient (Same Day) Surgery

Your child can return home the same day as outpatient surgeries such as:

• Dental treatment
• Ear tube placement
• Tonsil removal and adenoid removal

You’ll appreciate our usual high-quality care without an overnight hospital stay.
