Romanian President Traian Basescu left for Vienna Monday night for a lumbar disc hernia operation, the Romanian news agency said.
The president was admitted into Bucharest University Hospital for a medical examination on Sunday after he felt pains in his back. The results showed Basescu may be suffering from a slipped disc, the news agency said.
A further medical examination at the Elias hospital in Bucharest on Monday confirmed that the president was suffering from lumbar disc hernia, the news agency said.
