An operation on a seven-year-old boy at the centre of a legal dispute over cancer treatment went well, a High Court judge has been told.

Neon Roberts underwent more surgery on a brain tumour on Wednesday against his mother's wishes.

Sally Roberts, 37, wanted a delay until more doctors had been consulted.

But Mr Justice Bodey ruled earlier this week that further treatment should be carried out urgently. He will hear more argument on the issue later.

Ian Peddie, QC for Ms Roberts told the court: "The mother is happily relieved to report that the operation went well."

Further treatment

On Tuesday the judge ruled the surgery should go ahead after an MRI scan revealed a residual tumour left from the boy's last operation.

A doctor told the court it was "highly likely" Neon would die within a "relatively short period" without further treatment.

A further ruling is expected to be made by the end of week on additional treatment for Neon, such as radiotherapy.

Mrs Roberts said she feared the treatment could do Neon long-term harm including causing brain damage or infertility.

Earlier in the month New Zealand-born Mrs Roberts went into hiding with her son, sparking a nationwide search before both were found unharmed.

A judge has previously ruled that the hospital should not be identified.
