Surgery in children: The psychological preparation is the most important part. Explain to him/her in non threatening terms the whole process and emphasize that there will be little to no pain. Offer a reward for after surgery as well. Medically speaking no special preparation is needed, just avoid any Aspirin or Motrin as it increases the risk of bleeding during surgerey.
