AMMAN — His Majesty King Abdullah departs for
Germany on Sunday to undergo surgery to treat a thoracic herniated disc, a
Royal Court statement said Saturday.
At the professional advice of Jordanian physicians who
examined His Majesty, the surgery will take place at a specialized hospital in
Frankfurt, Germany, this week.
His Majesty had previously been experiencing
intermittent pain in the spinal cord after years of parachuting while serving
in the Special Forces, but the pressure on the nerve due to the herniation has
increased lately, which calls for undergoing surgery urgently, according to
medical advice.
The surgery will be followed by rest for around a
week, before His Majesty returns to Jordan.
