By Linda BordoniDoctor Sergio Alfieri, the surgeon who operated on Pope Francis at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Wednesday afternoon, told journalists the operation went ahead without complications and the Pope is expected to make a full recovery within the usual timeframe for such an intervention.

Dr Alfieri explained that the laparocele had been causing increasingly frequent pain, thus the Pope’s medical team decided to schedule the operation. The surgeon explained that the adhesions were removed and the hernial defect was repaired by means of “abdominal wall plastic surgery with the aid of a prosthetic mesh.”“The surgery and the general anaesthesia went ahead without complications,” Dr Alfieri said, reiterating that the Holy Father has reacted well.

He noted that due to Pope Francis’ age, “we will take all precautions” and will decide in the coming days how to manage his post-surgical recovery.
