Hrithik Roshan Had A Successful Brain Surgery
Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan successfully underwent surgery in Mumbai on Sunday to remove an old blood clot on the brain surface. He is in post operative care right now and has been advised three weeks of rest.
Doctors said Hrithik was suffering from ‘Subdural Hematoma’ in the brain as a result of his head injury.
“Hrithik Roshan was performing stunts for his upcoming film Bang Bang two months ago and he suffered an injury on his head. He started developing pain and hence he started taking pain killers but they wouldn’t work. So, he went for a CT scan in May end. Later it was found that there was a clot in the brain,” Dr VK Mishra, who is treating him, told reporters.
Hrithik, who was originally supposed to leave for Prague on Sunday for a schedule of his film Bang Bang, had been complaining of persistent nagging headaches. His family decided to get an MRI done. The test confirmed a clot behind his lobe. After consultations with doctors, an Indian and a neurosurgeon from abroad operated on him at the Mumbai’s Hinduja Hospital. An hole was drilled in his skull and the blood sucked out under local anesthesia.
