Surgery for Children

South Kansas City Surgicenter was designed to accommodate the special needs of our pediatric patients. The Surgicenter has highly qualified nursing staff and the anesthesia team has extensive training and experience with children. We welcome you to tour the Surgicenter and ask any questions you may have prior to your child’s procedure. We encourage children to bring a favorite toy or blanket with them. A parent or guardian is required to stay with the child during the pre-operative and post-operative processes and must remain in the building during the child’s surgical procedure. Parents of small children should bring childcare items such as diapers, bottles, and extra underclothes. Legal guardians must bring proof of guardianship.

Preparing for Surgery

Your physician has scheduled your surgical procedure at SKCS. The staff has already begun the process to make your visit to the facility as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Prior to surgery, you will receive a phone call from the pre-admission nurse who will speak with you regarding any previous and existing medical conditions as well as any medications that you are currently taking. You will also be given instructions regarding what time to arrive at the center the day of your surgery.

Before surgery you should follow these important safety rules which are critical to your well-being. If you do not follow these guidelines, your surgery may have to be delayed or canceled.*

  • Make arrangements for a responsible adult to drive you home after your procedure.
  • Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the night before your surgery unless instructed otherwise by a member of the healthcare team.
  • You may brush your teeth or rinse your mouth the day of surgery, provided nothing is swallowed.
  • Do not smoke or use any tobacco products after midnight the night before your surgery.
  • Medications:
    • If you take insulin or routine medications, your physician or anesthesiologist will instruct you how to take your medication the day of surgery.
    • If you take a blood thinner such as Coumadin or aspirin, please inform your surgeon.

Advance Health Care Directives

An Advance Health Care Directive (AHCD) is a document or documents that instruct health care providers about your care should you be unable to make decisions on your own. You can fill out AHCDs before your visit and bring them with you on the day of your surgery. Examples of AHCDs include:

  • Advanced Health Care Directives
  • Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions
  • Do Not Resuscitate Directive (DNR)
  • Living Will Declaration

For more information about AHCDs and downloadable forms, visit caringinfo.org. Because of the information contained in AHCDs, it is important to share any decisions you make with your family and your physician.

Important: The South Kansas City Surgicenter will not recognize a Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) order contained within a Health Care Directive. We are an outpatient, elective surgical facility. Patients who have surgery at this facility are screened for their health status and the appropriateness of having their surgical procedure performed at this facility. The facility recognizes that medical emergency situations may arise, however, and when these unexpected medical emergency situations occur, the policy of the Center is to use all measures available to sustain and maintain life.
