Tony Ramos undergoes yet another surgery after new bruises form on his skull

Tony Ramos, 75, underwent head surgery again this Sunday (19). The actor suffered intracranial hematomas again and was operated on by neurosurgeon Paulo Niemeyer Filho at the Hospital Samaritano Botafogo, in the south of Rio de Janeiro.

According to the hospital, Ramos “is well, awake and breathing without the aid of equipment.” The note sent by the press office states that the procedure was necessary after he presented with clotting disorders, which caused the formation of new accumulations of blood in the head region.

The actor was admitted to the health unit in the early afternoon of Thursday (16), after feeling unwell. According to the family, the first surgery to remove a clot in the brain, also led by doctor Paulo Niemeyer, had been considered a success.

On Saturday (18), the actor had been discharged from the ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and had been sent to a semi-intensive bed. “The patient is lucid and shows progressive improvement in his condition”, said the note released at the time.

A subdural hematoma, like the one that hit Tony Ramos, is an accumulation of blood between the brain and the skull. It usually appears after trauma to the region or in elderly people who use anticoagulants.

Ramos was recently on the air in the soap opera “Terra e Paixão”, by Walcyr Carrasco. In the 9pm show on Globo, he played the villain Antônio La Selva. The actor is also on the air in the series “Encantado’s” as the bookworm Madurão.
