cant remember precisely YG, its definitely under 30mins, probably under 20! So quick!!

The faffing about beforehand takes longer!

it is very quick but they have to go to recovery

TOD · 13/09/2006 22:24

Op takes about 10 mins but time in recovery varies.....maybe another 10 to 20 mins depending on the child...its all very fast!

it's really quick, not even worth getting a cooked breakfast from the cafeteria. (am sadly partial to hospital cafeteria cooked breakfasts)

Good luck, I hope you don't have to hang around on the ward all day waiting for your slot.

15 minute op for two grommets.

dd1 had 2 grommets, tonsils and adenoids out and all up it was about 45 minutes and we were called to recovery the minute she came out of surgery.

Hi YG, hope dd's op has gone well (that came round quick!)
