The Vatican reported that 71-year-old Pope Leo The procedure lasted approximately 90 minutes and was considered successful.
According to the Vatican statement, the pope woke up well after the procedure and was taken to his room to rest. He underwent surgery at the Gemelli Polyclinic Hospital in Rome, which has a wing reserved for popes. The medical team reported that they were already waiting for the diagnosis to be confirmed today.
“To ensure the radical nature of the intervention, the lower lobe of the right lung was removed using a video-assisted technique. The intraoperative histological examination confirmed the diagnosis of lung adenocarcinoma, as suspected by preoperative tests”, says the document signed by doctors Luigi Carbone and Stefano Margaritora.
On Sunday (11), Leão XIV revealed that he would need to undergo surgery, as advised by the medical team, highlighting that the nodule had been detected in the right lung, still at an early stage.
