The Surgery When your child is asleep, the surgery will begin. The surgeon will insert a thin tube with a camera through one of the incisions to see the appendix. He or she also will insert a tube to start a flow of carbon dioxide, a harmless gas, into the abdominal space; the gas will puff up the abdomen to make more room to work. He or she will insert surgical instruments into the other incision s.
The surgeon also will remove the appendix through one of the incisions. Once the area is clean, the surgeon will release air from the abdomen. Once the appendix is removed, your surgeon will close the incisions with a stapling device or a few sutures SOO-chers or stitches.
These sutures will dissolve on their own and do not need to be removed. Steri-strips are thin adhesive strips that are sometimes used to close shallow cuts in the skin instead of stitches. Both the glue and the Steri-strips will fall off on their own as the incision heals.

You are encouraged to talk to your child or hold his or her hand before the surgery, while sleep medication is given, and while in recovery. Pain Medication Before the surgery, many patients are also given a regional block, a pain medication that is injected to the outside of the spine to numb the area.
