Pope Francis is expected to be discharged from the hospital in the coming days, the Vatican said on Wednesday, citing Reuters. Recovery after the surgery on June 7 is going well and without complications.
The 86-year-old leader of the Catholic Church underwent surgery for a hernia in his abdomen. A mesh prosthesis was inserted into the Pope’s abdominal wall to speed up healing. Doctors want the prosthesis to fit and fit properly.

“The Holy Father rested well at night. The medical team reports that the recovery is going smoothly, without complications, and therefore they expect him to be discharged in the next few days,” Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement. .
According to Bruni, the Pope worked from his hospital room.
The event, which brings together young people from all over the world, takes place from 1 to 6 August, the pontiff will be in Portugal from 2 to 6 August.
