Pope Francis attends the weekly general audience on the day he is due to undergo abdominal surgery, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, June 7, 2023. - REUTERSPIX: Pope Francis was doing well on Thursday morning after his first night in hospital following abdominal surgery, the Vatican said.
Doctor Sergio Alfieri, the chief surgeon who operated on the pope at Rome’s Gemelli hopsital, said Francis had reacted well to general anesthesia and that he expected the pontiff to be in hospital for about 5-7 days. Alfieri said he saw no medical reason why the pope would have to change his schedule if the recovery went well, as the surgeon expected it to.
Doctors have said the operation was necessary to repair a laparocele, a hernia that sometimes forms over scars usually resulting from previous surgeries. It is more common in older people and it can also be caused by being overweight or weakness of the abdominal wall muscles.
