Jim Ross Undergoes Another Successful Brain Surgery

Jim Ross has undergone another successful brain shunt surgery following a procedure on Wednesday, November 11. An update on JR's condition was provided by his Grilling JR co-host Conrad Thompson, who tweeted: "JR is out of surgery and everything went well! Praise God!"

Ross' shunt surgery was initially supposed to take place on Tuesday but the operation was delayed by a day following a good CT scan.

Ross has suffered from serious health complications in recent years and he was hospitalised for a month earlier in 2026 due to excess cerebrospinal fluid on the brain which had caused memory issues. Ross underwent his first brain shunt surgery on August 12, a procedure in which a thin tube is implanted in the brain to allow that excess fluid to flow through the shunt to another part of the body to be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Ross suffered from severe headaches following the first surgery and he underwent a second brain shunt procedure in October due to an issue with the shunt. He was also hospitalised for around one week later in the month due to low oxygen levels.
