The hospital shut down its operating rooms Tuesday and Wednesday after
a pathology report on a patient who underwent brain surgery and may have
had Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or CJD, an incurable nervous system
disorder. Surgeries returned to normal capacity Thursday evening and
Friday after all surgical instruments were treated in a special
sterilization process to ensure their safe use, said Froedtert spokeswoman
Kathy Sieja.
