NEW YORK — Regis Philbin had successful hip-replacement surgery Tuesday and plans to return to his syndicated daytime talk show early next month.
An e-mail from “Live! With Regis and Kelly” said: “Word from the hospital is that everything went perfectly this morning during Regis’ hip-replacement surgery, and his doctor said that Regis couldn’t be in better shape.”
The show says the typical recovery period is four to six weeks. No other details were available.
