Jerusalem hospital to put Netanyahu under knife Sunday night

Reporter at The Times of Israel

Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem says Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo a scheduled urological surgery to have his prostate removed Sunday evening.

The surgery will be performed by a team of specialists including Prof. Ofer Gofrit, head of the Urology Department, Ehud Gnessin, senior urologist at Assaf Harofeh Medical Center, and Prof. Mordechai Duvdevani, head of Ein Kerem’s Endourology Unit.

The hospital will provide a detailed update upon completion of the surgery, which is expected to take around two hours.

Such surgeries usually involve the patient undergoing general anesthesia. He is expected to need several days to recover from the procedure.
