Saudi King to undergo more surgery in US

Riyadh, December 03: The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah is to undergo more surgery on his back in US on Friday, the royal court said.

King Abdullah flew to New York City on November 22 and was operated on two days later at New York Presbyterian Hospital for a debilitating herniated disc complicated by a haematoma that put pressure on his spine.

The court had said that the first operation was a success and that the King walked on his own inside the hospital shortly afterwards.
