Piper Niven has given an update for fans after she underwent surgery on her neck. As has been noted, Niven has been out of action since late August 2025 with a neck injury. She gave an update in February to note that she didn’t have answers at that time about her potential recovery.

Niven posted to her Twitter account on Wednesday to share a picture of herself in a hospital bed. She noted that she underwent an anterior discectomy, a procedure in which a damaged or herniated disc is removed from the neck.

Niven wrote:

“I went to California and all I got was this lousy anterior discectomy.

I have so much I want to say about the past 8 months but we can get to that later. For now, I just want to express my endless love and gratitude for every single soul that has helped me and cared for me during this difficult and really scary time. Pain and heartbreak are incredible teachers and the lessons I have learned from this will stay with me forever. I am so grateful to wake up from surgery already feeling better and I know I am coming out the other side of this so much stronger for the experience.

Lots of love P x”

On behalf of 411, our continued best wishes to Niven for a quick and full recovery.
