Pope Leo XIV underwent surgery at the Agostino University Polyclinic (Hospital Gemelli) in Rome to treat an adenocarcinoma, which is one of the most frequent subtypes of lung cancer. The operation took place on a Tuesday and was performed using a minimally invasive thoracic surgery procedure known as Uniportal VATS.
The surgical technique employed in the Pope's intervention was created and developed by Spanish surgeon Diego González Rivas in 2010. The procedure allows for minimally invasive thoracic operations, marking a significant medical application of a Spanish-developed technique in a high-profile papal health intervention.
