PORT ADELAIDE ruckman Scott Lycett has had successful laterjet surgery following an injury in the round 4 game against Melbourne.

Lycett dislocated his right shoulder in the first half against the Demons but played out the game.

As advised by the club last week, the 29-year-old needed surgery to repair the shoulder.

Lycett will miss approximately 12 weeks of football but is expected to be back running at training within a month.
