Planned surgery on Sharon postponed due to infection
4/4/2006 17:08
A surgery Israeli former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was to undergo today
was delayed due to a respiratory infection, Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital
said.
Sharon, 78, has been in coma since Jan. 4 after suffering a massive
stroke.
Sharon's surgery has been delayed due to a slight infection
discovered Tuesday morning in his respiratory tract, said a statement released
by Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital.
Tuesday's surgery was to restore part of
Sharon's skull removed three months ago after his massive stroke.
No new date
for the surgery has been set yet, but a spokesman with the hospital said the
date depended on how quickly the infection cleared up.
