CHICAGO (AP) - After undergoing a series of cancer surgeries, Roger Ebert says he'll have yet another operation.
According to a statement in the Chicago Sun-Times, Ebert was to have surgery Thursday in Houston to address complications from previous operations.
Ebert, 65, has been a film critic at the newspaper for more than 40 years.
He has undergone a series of operations, including the removal of a growth on his salivary gland and a tracheostomy, a procedure that opens an airway through an incision in the windpipe, that left him unable to speak.
Though he has been unable to appear on "At the Movies with Ebert & Roeper" for more than a year, with guest hosts filling in, Ebert has been writing reviews regularly.
He said he's written several advance reviews and other columns to appear while he recuperates

OMG - I haven't seen him since all these surgeries. Yikes, poor guy.
Yeah, poor dude. That turtleneck affair is almost as bad as the burned Captain Pike's chair.
