Turkish-led rescuers have said the operation to bring up 40-yearold Mark Dickey by stretcher could take up to four days, and will require constant monitoring of his health.
Dickey fell ill with gastrointestinal bleeding more than 1,000 metres (3,300ft) below ground level in the Morca cave system on 2 September, but it took until the morning of 3 September to notify others who were above ground.
An Italian team including medical personnel reached the experienced expedition caver and instructor on Thursday night and managed to stabilise him. His fiancee and fellow caver, Jessica Van Ord, was at his side and remained with him while he was unwell, but began climbing out of the cave as his condition improved.
Dickey made a video that was brought to the surface in which he thanked the more than 150 rescuers trying to get him out of the system.
