0:48Now PlayingFormer US President Jimmy Carter was recovering Tuesday following surgery to relieve pressure from brain bleeding.
A statement from a spokeswoman said there were no complications from the procedure, performed at Emory University Hospital for a subdural hematoma, or blood on the brain surface.
Carter, 95, will remain in the hospital for observation, said Deanna Congileo, his spokeswoman at the Carter Center.
Dr. Daniel Orringer, a neurosurgeon at NYU Langone Health in New York City says Carter may experience a delayed recovery because of his history of medical problems.
Orringer did not treat Carter, but regularly does surgeries just like the one done on Carter.
Carter has suffered numerous falls lately. In the spring, required hip replacement surgery.
He hit his head falling again on Oct. 6 and received 14 stitches, but still traveled to Nashville, Tennessee, to help build a Habitat for Humanity home shortly thereafter. And he was briefly hospitalized after fracturing his pelvis on Oct. 21.
Carter's wife of 73 years, Rosalynn Carter, is with him at the hospital.
Carter has been through a series of health problems in recent years.
He received a dire cancer diagnosis in 2015, announcing that melanoma had spread. After partial removal of his liver, treatment for brain lesions, radiation and immunotherapy, he said he was cancer-free.
Despite his increasingly frail health, the nation's oldest-ever ex-president still teaches Sunday school about twice monthly at Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains in southwest Georgia.
