Pope Francis will undergo abdominal surgery on Wednesday afternoon at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the Vatican said in a statement quoted by Reuters. The Supreme Pontiff arrived at the hospital around 11:30. [10h30 em Lisboa].
The Vatican said in a statement that the operation was necessary to repair a laparocele, a hernia that sometimes forms over a scar that usually results from previous surgery.
Pope Francis’ medical team has decided in recent days that surgery must be started and that the Pope will have to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover.
According to Reuters, the medical team decided the operation, which would be performed under general anesthesia, was necessary because the hernia was causing painful intestinal obstruction.
