Zsa Zsa May Need Additional Surgery

Zsa Zsa May Need Additional Surgery

Zsa Zsa Gabor may need to undergo additional surgery after a feeding tube that was replaced earlier this week began leaking, her publicist said.

Gabor lost consciousness Saturday at her Bel-Air home and was rushed to the hospital after an infection  caused a feeding tube to come loose.

Doctors at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center gave the actress antibiotics to build her strength. By Sunday, she was strong enough to undergo surgery to reattach the tube, said her publicist John Blanchette.

But on Monday, doctors found out the tube was leaking and there were concerns it could come loose again and cause another infection, Blanchette said.

Zsa Zsa's husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, said she was currently in stable condition and he was discussing next steps with doctors.

Gabor has been hospitalized repeatedly since falling out of bed and breaking her hip in July 2010. Her right leg was amputated in January because of gangrene.

"She's a tough old bird," Blanchette said.

Gabor appeared in a handful of films, but has been most famous for playing the role of herself on talk shows and game shows.

She is the last living of three Gabor sisters with careers in Hollywood. The legendary screen star has been equally famous for having been married nine times.
