Zsa Zsa Gabor had her right leg amputated above the knee on Friday after unsuccessful treatment for a 12-inch long lesion on her lower leg.
Doctors at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center tried for two weeks to save Gabor’s leg, but the lesion proved resistant to antibiotics.
Dr. David Rigberg, the surgeon who performed the amputation, gave no indication on how long the frail actress would remain in the hospital.
“We’re guarded in our opinion on how she’s going to do overall,” Rigberg said.”She didn’t come in from home in very good health, so it’s difficult for me to predict how long she’s going to be here.”
The 93-year-old actress has suffered a series of health problems since last summer, including a hip replacement.
