Prabhu recovering at home
Prabhu, the son of the legendary Sivaji Ganesan, has now been discharged from hospital after undergoing emergency surgery last Friday.
The 67-year old actor was admitted to the Medway Heerat Institute Hospital following the onset of a fever and severe headaches. According to DR T Palaniyappan, Chairman of the Hospital, Prabhu “had a bulge or ballooning at the top of the internal carotid artery at the bifurcation of the middle cerebral artery, a major blood vessel supplying blood to a large portion of the brain” – a condition that is sometimes referred to as cerebral aneurysm. This meant that urgent surgery was necessary. The surgery involved implanting a flow diverter in a surgical procedure called coil embolization.
Doctors were happy with his reaction to the procedure and discharged him. He is currently recovering at home.
