The doctor who led the group of the surgery, Professor Mario Igor Rossello, said: "It was a very important and difficult surgery. The right arm of Robert Kubica was cut into two parts, with significant damage to bones and tendons. We did the best we could to restore the functionality of the arm. It took 7 doctors, divided into two groups, a total of 7 hours to complete the surgery.One team was the emergency task force from the hospital of San Paolo (Savona) that is normally appointed to treat this sort of injury, while the other team came from the orthopaedic department of the Santa Corona Hospital (Pietra Ligure). At the end of the perfusion response to Robert's hand was good and his hand was hot, which is encouraging.“At the end of the operation, Robert's hand was well vascularised and warm, which is encouraging. Following the surgery, Robert Kubica will remain under permanent monitoring overnight because his condition remains serious.”Rossello added that it would be around a week before the success of the operation could be judged fully, warning that the Polish driver is likely to face an extended rehabilitation period, possibly 12 months, to regain full use of his hand
Update: The first official update from Lotus Renault confirms those which we showed the previous night. The announcement of the group says that after the long surgery at the Hospital Santa Corona, Robert Kubica was submitted in artificial coma and his condition is stable but serious.

We have been really impressed with the way the doctors looked after him today and we would like to thank the whole team of the Santa Corona Hospital for their professional approach and dedication. I will be travelling to Italy tomorrow, along with Vitaly Petrov, in order to see Robert and tell him that we are impatiently waiting for his return''
Top of the list to stand in for Kubica will be Bruno Senna, who raced for HRT in 2010 and was announced as a Renault third driver last week. However, given Senna’s and Petrov’s relative inexperience - and the apparent seriousness of Kubica’s injuries - there's already speculation the team could consider other options.
