Harvey Weinstein has gone under the knife in hopes of alleviating his severe back pain and is now recovering.
The disgraced studio mogul underwent what’s called bilateral laminectomy surgery Thursday at an NYC hospital. We’re told the procedure lasted around 3 hours. The surgery — better known as decompression surgery — enlarges the spinal canal to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerves.

As we reported … Weinstein could barely walk on his own when he headed to court last week. He needed help from 2 handlers. He’s also needed assistance from a walker. You’ll recall Weinstein’s lead attorney said earlier this week HW would undergo surgery while also slamming haters who accused Weinstein of attempting to play the sympathy card.
We’re told the surgery went well and he’s now recovering. Weinstein’s hopeful the surgery will correct his back issues and have him ready in time — without pain — as he and his legal team prepares for his criminal trial slated for January 6.
