"Doctors treating Michael Schumacher, who remains in a critical condition after a skiing accident in Méribel in the Alps, have given an update on his condition after having carried out a second operation late on Monday. They said:

• There has been a slight improvement in Schumacher's condition

• The doctors are unable to say he is out of danger and the coming hours remain critical

• The first operation, on Sunday, was to eliminate extradural haematoma (bleeding outside the actual brain) and to reduce pressure

• On Monday morning Schumacher remained in an acute situation with intracranial hypertensions (pressure inside the skull)

• Doctors carried out treatments, which they did not detail, and there was a slight improvement which allowed them to carry out a controlled scan with respiratory assistance without further risk

• The scan showed signs which the doctors said were "unexpected" and they discussed treatment with Schumacher's family

• The scan had shown haematoma within the brain. One particular haematoma on the left was more accessible and could be eliminated without risk. Some haematoma were not accessible

• The doctors operated at 10pm on Monday to eliminate the larger haematoma in a procedure lasting two hours

• A control scan carried out on Tuesday morning showed that haematoma was evacuated successfully. The scan also showed other lesions in the brain

• The plan for next 24 hours is to correct a number of continuing anomalies

• This is a phase of stability - which was not the case on Monday - but it remains too premature to speculate about his prognosis

• There are no plans to move Schumacher back to Germany at the moment

• The doctors do not intend to update again until there is a change in Schumacher's condition or further intervention.
