The Vatican announced Wednesday that Pope Francis underwent a successful three-hour operation on his abdomen, following increasing concerns about the 86-year-old’s health.
According to the Vatican, there were no reported difficulties. It had previously been stated that the Pope will be hospitalized for several days.
According to one of the surgeons participating in the treatment, Francis reacted well to the surgery and anesthetic and had already made a joke subsequently.
“He has been in pain. This wasn’t an urgent surgery …. He continued to feel the pain, so a surgery was decided yesterday,” Dr. Sergio Alfieri said at a press conference in Rome.
“Other pathologies or illnesses were not found,” Alfieri said, adding that the pope has resumed his work from hospital.
“Now he is awake, he is fine, and he is already at work.” Francis will remain in the hospital for around 10 days for recovery, the doctor said.
