Resources

The Preoperative Services clinic coordinates and facilitates the care of children and their families during their surgical experience.

The Surgical Day Centre (SDC) is a resource for families who have already passed through the PEC or the Montreal Children’s Hospital Surgical Tray.

Services

The Preoperative Evaluation Clinic (PEC) service includes the physical assessment of the child, the required consultation, the appropriate laboratory work and psychological preparation for the expected occurrences on the day of surgery.

The Surgical Day Centre (SDC) can help families who have new concerns or questions following their PEC appointment or operation/procedure. Some surgical specialties use this clinic for postoperative follow-up of wounds, removal of surgical drains and postoperative imaging appointments.
