Is an overnight stay in the hospital required for children undergoing ear surgery?

Question :
Is an overnight stay in the hospital required for children undergoing ear surgery?

Answer :
I assume that you are inquiring about otoplasty surgery of the ears in children. I do not keep children overnight for corrective surgery of the ears. The otoplasty procedure is usually completed in about 90 minutes for both ears and the child is sent home the day of surgery.
