SAUDI Arabia's elderly King Abdullah had a successful second operation in New York on Friday, the royal court said in a statement released by the kingdom's state news agency.
Earlier on Friday, the court said the king, believed to be aged 86 or 87, would have surgery to stabilize vertebrae in his spinal column.
"The operation, which took place at exactly six in the morning New York time, was successful, and a second phase of physiotherapy will begin after that (the operation)," the statement issued through the Saudi Press Agency said.
The royal court did not elaborate on when the physiotherapy stage would start, or when the ruler would return to his Gulf Arab kingdom.
The second operation was the completion of earlier surgery in New York last week after a blood clot complicated a slipped disc, a statement released on Friday said.
A Saudi official on the sidelines of a Gulf security conference in Bahrain confirmed the success of the second operation.
"He is well. He had an operation today and I hope he soon gets better," said Prince Turki al-Faisal, a former Saudi intelligence chief.
Asked when the king would return home, Prince Turki replied: "I have no idea."
