Analysis
Close-up:
☆一応 is also a new word for me. It means “more of less” with the connotation of not quite good enough.
手術 is surgery, we’ve seen tons of time before and it’s the topic of the sentence as marked with 『は』. 成功+した+『が』= a success with the が specifying something about the topic.
So far: About the surgery, it was more or less successful.
After that,
☆今後【こんご】from now on, another new word for me. It’s followed by the inclusive particle も.
☆意識
I’m putting this one bigger because the kanji on the right was hard to make out since it’s so crunched and compact. Another new word for me, 意識, read いしき is another new word for me, it means consciousness. Then comes the direct object 『を』who is going to tell us something about that.☆回復 is, another new word for me as indicated by the ☆ and it means recovery and it’s a ~する verb as indicated by the する which comes right after.
Hmm… the next bit could be harder. I lived in China for a few years so some characters are familiar to me although they might have changed meaning when they transitioned to Japan. I think this means “possible”. This would make sense as what follows is also familiar and I think it means long. So “the road to recovery might be a long one”.
After checking, 低い【ひくい】actually means the opposite, that is “short”.
To get back at 可能性【かのうせい】indeed means “possibility”.
The surgery was somewhat successful and the recovery to consciousness could be short.
(This one required more time as there were many new words).
