Movie critic Ebert has emergency surgery
Sun Jul 2, 7:05 PM ET
CHICAGO - Film critic Roger Ebert, who has battled cancer in recent years, was in serious condition at a hospital Sunday following an emergency operation to repair complications from an earlier cancer surgery.
Chicago Sun-Times columnist Richard Roeper — co-host of the "Ebert and Roeper" movie review show — told the paper that Ebert's vital signs appeared to be good after the hours-long operation.
Ebert had surgery June 16 to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland. He told Sun-Times columnist Robert Feder at the time that the condition was not life threatening and he expected to make a full recovery.
About 8 p.m. Saturday, a blood vessel burst near the site of the operation, the Sun-Times reported Sunday on its Web site. A Northwestern Memorial Hospital spokeswoman declined to comment Sunday afternoon.
The 64-year-old has undergone cancer surgery three times before — once in 2002 to remove a malignant tumor on his thyroid gland and twice on his salivary gland the next year.
Ebert has been a film critic at the Chicago Sun-Times since 1967. He won the Pulitzer Prize for criticism in 1975, the same year he teamed up with Gene Siskel of the rival Chicago Tribune to launch their movie-review show. Siskel died in 1999. |

| I loved it when he and Debbie Schlussel went at it. Though she's pulling for him and that's cool of her. |

| I like his style but don't really pay any attention to what he likes or not. Cancer is a shitty way to go. I wish him the best |
