Mary Tyler Moore Recovering Well From Brain Surgery

Mary Tyler Moore is recovering well after four-hour surgery on her brain, PEOPLE reports. The actress's operation was to remove a benign tumor on the lining tissue of the skull, her rep told the magazine.

"According to her surgeon, she tolerated the procedure without difficulty and is recovering nicely with her husband at her bedside," her red said.

The tumor, called a meningioma, was removed entirely and the 73-year-old actress "will require no additional treatment," her rep added. The operation was described as fairly routine.

"At the recommendation of her neurologist, who has been monitoring this for years, and a neurosurgeon, Mary decided to proceed with this fairly routine procedure," her rep explained earlier this week.

From 'The Dick Van Dyke Show' to her eponymous 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' to her most recent appearance alongside

in the season premiere of 'Hot in Cleveland,' Moore in considered an Hollywood icon.
