He had to undergo emergency surgery - Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt undergoes emergency surgery after infection scare
Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt, 82, has undergone emergency surgery after an old wound from a 2019 car crash in Thailand became severely infected. The procedure took place on Wednesday, with doctors acting quickly to prevent further complications. The aristocrat was taken to a hospital near me by ambulance while filming a reality show in Donaueschingen.
The infection flared up suddenly, forcing von Anhalt to halt his work on the show. An ambulance rushed him to a general hospital in Waldshut-Tiengen, where surgeons operated under general anaesthesia. They drained a significant amount of pus and debris from the wound, which had risked spreading to the bone.
After the operation, von Anhalt received strong antibiotics and was fitted with an arm brace to aid recovery. He has previously spoken about his belief that his late wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, acts as his 'guardian angel,' protecting him from worse injuries in the past.
The emergency procedure addressed a serious infection that could have led to further health issues. Von Anhalt remains under medical care as he recovers from the surgery. His condition will be monitored closely in the coming days.
