Brazil’s former president and newly elected president, Lula da Silva, who is scheduled to be inaugurated on January 1, 2023, underwent surgery earlier this Monday to remove a lump in his throat. Lulu was secretly hospitalized this Sunday, a few hours after returning from Lisbon, and released on Monday morning.
The operation was performed at the state-of-the-art Sirio Libanes Hospital in São Paulo, and Lulu was accompanied by three well-known specialists: Roberto Calil Filho, Rui Yamamura and Artur Katz. They treated the inflammatory process that Lula suffered for several weeks in the throat, removed the lesion of the larynx – leukoplakia, which in about 10% of cases can lead to cancer.
But doctors assured the president-elect that there was no trace of cancer in the larynx of the politician, who had a tumor removed in the region in 2011. Lula returned home to the western zone of Sao Paulo after being discharged from the hospital, but this week he is due to travel to Brasilia, where he will lead the transition from the government of Jair Bolsonaro to his, which is facing some problems, namely in the areas of the economy, public security and especially in the field of defence.
