[Preparation for surgery].
Pediatric surgery can be a traumatic experience for both parents and children. That's why many children are now released the day of their operation. However, the need for preoperative counselling, reassurance and information is still there. The author explains why and shares the results of a preoperative questionnaire that she developed and implemented in a pediatric unit. The resulting improvement in the quality of care is documented.
