Sorta.
They don't use a traditional tube per se, they use a larangeal mask, which means she'll still have a tube in her throat but it stops at the larynx as opposed to a regular tube that goes between the vocal cords and into the lungs.
The anaesthetic is generally gas only instead of IV. She probably won't have an IV before or after but usually one is put in while they are under just in case.
Hard to say how she'll react as all kids are different, but for most it's a pretty quick recovery.
