LOS ANGELES, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- Zsa Zsa Gabor's publicist says the ailing 94-year-old actress is heading back to her California home after a successful operation to replace her feeding tube.

Gabor's representative John Blanchette told CNN Monday the feeding tube in the Hungarian-born star's stomach became loose Friday and led to an infection. The actress underwent a procedure to replace the tube in her stomach Sunday.

Blanchette told CNN the operation "went very well" and Gabor was scheduled to go home by Tuesday.

Gabor, whose film credits include "Touch of Evil" and "Moulin Rouge," has been hospitalized with numerous health issues, including blood clots, since she broke her hip last year. Most of Gabor's right leg was amputated in January because of gangrene.
