  • Circadian rhythms are critical for evaluating postoperative recovery.
  • There is a recognized connection between surgery and the disruption of these rhythms.
  • A practical method for measuring circadian rhythms in children post-surgery is currently lacking.
  • The integration of circadian rhythm assessment into clinical practice could enhance recovery evaluations.
