World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported40m ago
Pope Leo XIV will undergo surgery to remove a pulmonary nodule, a small growth of tissue in his lung. While the Jamaica Observer reports the Vatican's statement that the 71-year-old pontiff will be admitted to the hospital on Tuesday morning, France 24 notes that the specific operation date has not been officially confirmed by the Vatican, though it is expected to take place at Rome's Gemelli hospital this week.
The procedure comes ahead of the pontiff's scheduled international travel. France 24 highlights that Pope Leo XIV is due to embark on a trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru on November 6, and reports that doctors anticipate a recovery period of approximately seven days following the surgery.
