Pope Francis will go to the hospital on Wednesday for abdominal surgery due to an intestinal obstruction, two years after 33 centimeters of his colon were removed due to colitis and colon stricture, writes the APNews.
The Vatican announced that eighty-six-year-old Pope Francis will be operated on under anesthesia and will remain in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital for several days.
According to the Vatican, the pope will undergo a “laparotomy and abdominoplasty with a prosthesis” to treat a “recurrent, painful and worsening” narrowing of the intestine.
A laparotomy is an open abdominal surgery. It helps the surgeon diagnose and treat problems. According to the statement, Pope Francis was suffering from an intestinal obstruction, which is a hernia formed over a previous scar.
The Pope will stay in the health facility for several days to recover from the operation.
