“…Analysis of responses after discharge (Table 7) Talking about the operation and stay in hospital was a common finding in and out of the hospital and was present in all age groups (Danilowicz and Gabriel, 1976). With the younger children (2 to 7 and 8 to 11 years), open and free discussion was invariable, with 22 of the 38 children being proud of and showing off the scar.…”

“…Open discussion was absent in 3 adolescents, 2 girls refusing to talk about the operation at all and 1 boy being reticent about the topic. One adolescent, a 16-year-old black girl, on the other hand, was very introspective and communicative; she subsequently sent a long poem that she had written about her illness and operation to her cardiologist and surgeon (Danilowicz and Gabriel, 1976). From the answers received to the questionnaires, we were able to place the reactions into a negative and positive group.…”

Postoperative reactions of children and adolescents realistically prepared for cardiac surgery were analysed for acute and long-term responses. No cases of delirium or psychoses occurred in the 60 children while they were in hospital. Fifty sets of parents and children answered questionnaires 6 months to 4 years after operation (36 under 1 year, 8 from 1 to 3 years, and 6 over 3 years) and assessment of these showed only long-term reaction. Evaluation of reactions is presented by age and in detail. The children aged 2 to 7 years had the greatest number of negative reactions and the only long-term reaction also came from this group. Children 8 to 11 years of age had the least number of negative reactions and the highest number of positive gains. Adolescents, 12 to 19 years of age, were often concerned with their body image (wanted to be considered 'well', resented the scar, etc). From the standpoint of emotional stability and after effects, the 8 to 11-year-old group seemed to do best.

This paper presents a series of stratagems designed to minimize the potential psychological problems of children who require dermatological surgery. After discussing the "normal" critical periods of childhood, the selective approaches to children at different ages are presented. General and specific suggestions are made for pre- and postoperative management for both office and hospital surgical procedures.
