PETALING JAYA: Sultan Ibrahim Ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar of Johor successfully underwent shoulder surgery at Damansara Specialist Hospital 2 on Tuesday (July 18).
According to a post on Sultan Ibrahim’s official Facebook page, the surgery lasted three hours and was performed to treat shoulder impingement and relieve pain.
The collarbone was also treated during the surgery to address shoulder pain. No admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was necessary, but His Majesty will undergo post-surgical radiofrequency treatment and is expected to be hospitalized for a few days.
After the operation, Sultan Ibrahim also spent time with the medical team.
“The surgery went very well, and I am recovering nicely. I would like to express my gratitude to all the doctors and nurses. I hope to return to my normal routine soon,” commented Sultan Ibrahim on Tuesday (July 18).
The medical team consisted of orthopaedic surgeons Dr Tan Chin Khoon, Dr Simmrat Singh Jagdis Singh, and Dr Shamsul Iskandar Hussein; radiologist Dr Naveen Rajadurai; as well as anaesthetists Dr Zuraini Md Noor and Datin Dr Vanitha Sivanase.
Last Sunday (July 16), Datuk Dr Abdul Rahim Ramli, the president of the Johor Royal Court Council, revealed that despite the surgery, Sultan Ibrahim had decided to proceed with the Kembara Mahkota Johor road trip.
“Following the advice of his doctors, Sultan Ibrahim may need to wear an arm sling after the surgery. However, His Majesty insists that this will not prevent him from fulfilling his responsibilities of meeting with the people in every district,” Abdul Rahim stated.
