Gonzaga: Turiaf Out of Open Heart Surgery



Turiaf Out of Surgery: Former Gonzaga forward Ronny Turiaf underwent successful open heart surgery at Stanford Medical Center to repair an enlarged aortic valve. Turiaf, the 2005 West Coast Conference Player of the Year, was selected 37th overall in last month’s NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Lakers, who discovered the condition during a team physical. The surgery took six hours, and Turiaf will be in the hospital for approximately one week, followed by at least six months of rehabilitation. [7/27/05]
