Kieffer Sutherland Hospitalized For Emergency Surgery

Kiefer Sutherland(HMG) – Kieffer Sutherland has been hospitalized for a cyst that ruptured near his kidney during a taping of ’24′.

He is set to undergo surgery for the rupture.

While the procedure has a fairly low recovery time, the incident has forced FOX to stall shooting for the series for the moment.

“While Kiefer Sutherland is frustrated to miss even one day of work, he and Fox decided together that it would be best to complete this minor elective procedure now as a precaution as opposed to six weeks from now when production wraps,” Sutherland’s publicist said.

“He looks forward to returning to work next week.”

But the stall won’t go for long, and filming should continue next week.

FOX released the following statement:

“We are temporarily suspending production of ’24′ while our friend and colleague Kiefer Sutherland undergoes a medical procedure. We hope to resume production shortly and do not anticipate any disruption in the broadcast of this season’s episodes.”
