Zsa Zsa to undergo amputation

Zsa Zsa Gabor is to undergo surgery to have part of her right leg amputated due to gangrene.

Ailing US actress Zsa Zsa Gabor is to undergo surgery to have part of her right leg amputated due to gangrene.

Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Centre examined a lesion on the former actress’s leg that had grown from just over an inch to about a foot and is growing gangrenous.

“They’re going to have to amputate part of her leg,” her publicist said. “They said if they didn’t, she could lose her life.”

The amputation would probably be below the knee.

The 93-year-old who has appeared in such shows as The Facts of Life, The Love Boat and As the World Turns, broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July and has been in hospital several times since.

She was in a critical condition and asked for a priest to read her last rites during a hospital visit in August, but recovered and returned home.

  1. Just heard on Sunrise a update on this sad story at 6.55am,doctors are hoping medication might help save her leg.To me doesnt sound promising really,poor Zsa Zsa to end her final years like this and her hubby selling the story as often as he can.And before even taking her to hospital he informs the gossip website TMZ that he is taking her to hospital.Very sad story
