“Un examen histológico extemporáneo confirmó el diagnóstico de adenocarcinoma pulmonar, tal como se sospechaba en las pruebas preoperatorias”, detalla el Vaticano en un comunicado.
La Santa Sede precisa que la intervención del papa León XIV duró aproximadamente 90 minutos.
Pope Leo XIV underwent thoracic surgery at Gemelli Hospital on Tuesday afternoon, as planned, according to a statement from Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora released by the Holy See Press Office. The surgeons removed the lower lobe of the Pope’s right lung, and tissue examined during the operation confirmed the diagnosis of “lung adenocarcinoma,” as suspected from tests conducted beforehand. The Pope was in the operating room approximately three hours, while the operation itself lasted about 90 minutes. The doctors said it was successful and there were no complications. Pope Leo awoke normally after surgery and, following a brief period of observation, returned to his room on the hospital’s 10th floor, according to the statement. https://t.co/63Fs28LCZJ
