AK Antony to undergo surgery following brain haemorrhage

New Delhi: Former defence minister AK Antony, who was hospitalised after suffering a "minor" brain haemorrhage at his home yesterday, will undergo surgery at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi.

This was announced by the hospital authorities today.

A team of neurosurgeons today held a meeting and decided to conduct surgery on Antony, who is now undergoing conservative treatment as the



doctors needed time to decide their next course of action.

Conservative management is a type of treatment in which doctors avoid invasive measures such as surgery, usually with the intent to preserve function or body.

Antony, 76, was admitted to the RML hospital after he "suffered a minor brain haemorrhage after he fell down at his home," a hospital doctor said on condition of anonymity.
