The Galway native was diagnosed with cancer three years ago - at which point she had to have her leg amputated.
In the latest health update, her mum wrote: "Good morning everyone. Just a quick update to let you all know that Saoírse’s surgery went as planned. She is comfortable and recovering in ICU with SLUSH by her side.
"This is the first of many steps on this difficult journey! We are so happy and grateful to be sitting here beside her.
"We are so thankful to her surgeon and her amazing team here in Crumlin Hospital. Thank you for your continued support #saoirseandmamma #fightofherlife #osteosarcoma #childhoodcancer #ourgirl #limbloss."
The comment section was filled with people offering support and wishing the family well this morning.
One person wrote, "Wishing Saoirse all the very best, hugs and strength and well-wishes galore to the whole family."
Another said: "Thank god xxxx sending so much love to Saoirse. What a hero Slush is. And the incredible team."
A third added: "Oh Saoirse, you little fighter you! Thank you for the update Roseanne, so pleased it all went so well xxxx"
Among the many people sending their love and support was another person who said: "So relieved for you all to hear it went as planned, our candles will stay lit here for Saoirse and you all on her recovery.
"Slush is a very loyal pal. Sending hugs and positive thoughts xx."
Roseanne confirmed last week that after a meeting with doctors, the young girl would undergo another operation to remove a tumour that is in a "rare position.”
Her mum explained: "While in Dublin we were asked to attend a meeting with our team Friday afternoon. We didn’t know what we were going to learn but we were hopeful we would be one step closer to a plan.
"We travelled to Crumlin but attended this meeting without Saoírse, at her request. It was very emotional and hugely intense hanging on every word we were hearing.
She said they “parked” the devastating information they had received in order to enjoy their special” night on the Late Late.
“We then travelled back to our hotel in complete silence with Saoírse and we parked what we had learned a few hours previous ahead of her special appearance on the Late Late Show.”
"This was incredibly difficult but we are grateful for the strength that was sent our way and the compassion that was shown to us.”
Roseanne went on to say they “had a wonderful night and most importantly Saoírse felt so very special.
“We ask you to Please keep Saoirse in your hearts as we go forward now & take this first step in a long road to keep her where she truly belongs…here with us."
