Good news from the Vatican! Pope Francis has successfully undergone abdominal surgery and is now recovering at Gemelli Hospital in Rome,’ according to the Vatican-based RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY correspondent. The operation, which took place on June 7, 2023, was performed without any complications and the pope is expected to remain in hospital for several days to recover.

The operation was planned by the Pope’s medical team as it had become necessary due to a hernia that caused recurrent, painful, and increasingly severe symptoms. During the three-hour surgical procedure, Pope Francis underwent a laparotomy and reconstruction of the abdominal wall using prosthetic materials.

The surgeon in charge of the operation was Sergio Alfieri, the same surgeon who operated on Pope Francis in July 2021 when he underwent the removal of part of his colon due to diverticulitis. The Italian newspaper Il Messaggero reported that Alfieri was once again at the helm of this successful operation.

People have already started gathering outside the hospital where the Pope is being treated, showing their support and affection. Cardinal Pietro Parolin spoke to reporters about the Pope’s health, stating that they are following him with their affection and prayers, hoping that everything will be resolved as soon as possible and that he will resume his ministry.

Even while hospitalized, it is expected that Pope Francis will continue to work from his hospital bed during his convalescence. Cardinal Parolin added that if there are urgent matters that need to be decided, they will be brought to the Pope at the Gemelli Hospital.

This is certainly a relief for all those who have been following the Pope’s health closely. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back in action soon!


De bonnes nouvelles du Vatican! Le pape François a subi avec succès une opération abdominale et se rétablit maintenant à l’hôpital Gemelli de Rome ‘après le correspondant de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY basé au Vatican. L’opération, qui a eu lieu le 7 juin 2023, a été réalisée sans aucune complication et le pape devrait rester à l’hôpital pendant plusieurs jours pour récupérer.

L’opération a été planifiée par l’équipe médicale du pape car elle était devenue nécessaire en raison d’une hernie qui provoquait des symptômes récurrents, douloureux et de plus en plus graves. Au cours de l’intervention chirurgicale de trois heures, le pape François a subi une laparotomie et une reconstruction de la paroi abdominale à l’aide de matériaux prothétiques.

Le chirurgien en charge de l’opération était Sergio Alfieri, le même chirurgien qui avait opéré le pape François en juillet 2021 lorsqu’il avait subi l’ablation d’une partie de son côlon en raison d’une diverticulite. Le journal italien Il Messaggero a rapporté qu’Alfieri était à nouveau aux commandes de cette opération réussie.

Les gens ont déjà commencé à se rassembler devant l’hôpital où le pape est soigné, montrant leur soutien et leur affection. Le cardinal Pietro Parolin s’est entretenu avec les journalistes au sujet de la santé du pape, déclarant qu’ils le suivent avec leur affection et leurs prières, espérant que tout sera résolu dès que possible et qu’il reprendra son ministère.

Même hospitalisé, il est prévu que le pape François continue à travailler depuis son lit d’hôpital pendant sa convalescence. Le cardinal Parolin a ajouté que s’il y a des affaires urgentes qui doivent être décidées, elles seront apportées au pape à l’hôpital Gemelli.

C’est certainement un soulagement pour tous ceux qui ont suivi de près la santé du pape. Nous lui souhaitons un prompt rétablissement et avons hâte de le revoir en action bientôt!
