Sharon had part of skull removed in January

Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon had a quarter of his skull removed during a series of brain operations in early January and neurosurgeons are now considering further surgery next week to reattach it, the Jerusalem Post reported today.

Ron Krumer, spokesman for Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital, where Sharon has been in a coma since suffering a massive stroke on January 4, said specialists from other hospitals had met Hadassah surgeons to discuss Sharon’s care.
