Tutu, the former Anglican archbishop of Cape Town, was discharged from hospital last Wednesday after a successful surgery to treat recurring infections that have afflicted him in the past.
"The archbishop underwent the surgical procedure 10 days ago to address the cause of recurring infections resulting from past treatment received for prostate cancer," the family said in a brief statement.
"The archbishop was readmitted on Saturday as a precaution after his surgical wound had shown signs of infection."
