Former Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao on Friday underwent a total left hip replacement surgery following a fracture due to a fall in the bathroom on Thursday, Yashoda Hospital in Hyderabad said. The surgery was performed by a team of senior orthopaedic surgeons at the hospital. His general condition was said to be stable.
KCR “had a slip and fall in his Bathroom at his Residence and was subsequently brought to Yashoda Hospital Somajiguda for further care,” the hospital said in a health bulletin on Friday. He “has undergone the planned operation of left Total Hip Replacement,” the bulletin added.
“He has been receiving routine post-operative care, including IV fluids, prophylactic antibiotics and pain medication. The plan for ambulation, physiotherapy and nutrition would be designed based on assessment on Saturday,” the hospital further said. The procedure will take six to eight weeks for recovery.
KCR’s son and BRS leader KTR took to microblogging site X(formerly Twitter) and thanked everyone for sending “speedy recovery” messages.
“Sri KCR Garu needs to undergo Hip Replacement Surgery today after he had a fall in his bathroom. Thanks to all those who have been sending messages for his speedy recovery,” the post said.
BRS leader Dasoju Srravan also noted that the surgery went well. “He is fine, and we are hopeful that he will be discharged in three days,” Srravan was quoted by PTI as saying.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Minister and state BJP president G Kishan Reddy, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu and other leaders wished Rao a speedy recovery.
