Vatican: Pope Francis’ doctors plan to discharge him from hospital ‘in the next few days’ catholicnewsagency.com
Pope Francis’ doctors expect the pope to be discharged from the hospital “in the next few days,” according to the Vatican.
The 86-year-old pope is currently recovering in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital one week after he underwent a three-hour surgery for an incisional hernia. A team of surgeons removed scar tissue and operated on a hernia in the pope’s abdominal wall at the site of a previous surgical incision.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said June 14 that the hospital’s medical staff have reported that the pope’s recovery is “proceeding regularly, without complications, and are therefore planning to discharge him in the next few days.”
