Surgery on pope was successful, doctors say he can travel FMTNews FMTWorld
The Vatican said all of Pope Francis’ private and general audiences had been cancelled until June 18.
Alfieri, speaking to reporters at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, said no other ailments or pathologies were discovered during the operation. Francis has two trips planned for this summer and Alfieri said he saw no medical reason why the pope would have to change his schedule.“He looked at me as if to say ‘I’m the pope. I don’t lift weights,'” Alfieri said.
It is the third hospital stay for Francis since cardinals chose the Argentinian in 2013 as the first Latin American pope. It is the latest in a string of health problems in recent years.The Vatican said all of the pope’s private and general audiences had been cancelled until June 18. In his 2021 stay there, however, Francis recited the traditional Sunday prayer from a hospital balcony.
The pope’s condition was causing painful, intestinal occlusions, Alfieri said, adding that it was getting “continuously worse”. Francis was treated for five days at the same hospital at the end of March with a lung infection and last month skipped audiences for a day due to a fever.
