Indian Express - Saif Ali Khan, 54, is “out of danger” as he continues to recover following treatment at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai after being injured in a scuffle with an intruder at his Bandra residence late Wednesday night.
The statement shared by Saif’s team read, “Saif Ali Khan has come out of surgery and is out of danger. He is currently in recovery, and the doctors are monitoring his progress. All family members are safe and the police is investigating the incident. We would like to thank Dr. Niraj Uttamani, Dr. Nitin Dange, Dr Leena Jain and the team at Lilavati Hospital. Thank you to all his fans and well-wishers for their prayers and thoughts during this time.”
Dr Niraj Uttamani, chief operating officer, Lilavati Hospital said in a press statement, “Fortunately, Mr Saif Ali Khan’s surgery has been done very well. He is on a recovery path, the operation is over and he has been shifted to the ICU. He will be shifted to the normal ward in a day or two. After that, he can be taken care of. The injuries were deeper but our doctor and medical team have managed well.”
He sustained a major injury to the thoracic spine due to a lodged knife in his spine, the statement read. “Surgery was performed to remove the knife and also repair the leaking spinal fluid. There were two other deep wounds, on his left hand and right side of the neck which were repaired by the plastic surgery team led by Dr Leena Jain. He was also monitored by Dr Srinivas Kudva, the cardiologist. He is completely stable now recovering and out of danger,” said Dr Nitin Dange, neurosurgeon, Lilavati Hospital Mumbai.
As we wish him a speedy recovery, let’s understand the road to recovery.
Knife stab injuries can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. “Post-surgery, the road to recovery can be challenging and varies from person to person,” said Dr Narender Singla, lead consultant, internal medicine, CK Birla Hospital, Delhi.
