Pope Francis is alert, breathing without assistance, and in a good overall condition following intestinal surgery, while expected to stay in hospital for seven days barring any complications, the Vatican said on Monday.
Spokesman Matteo Bruni said in a statement that the 84-year-old pope’s operation on Sunday night, by a 10-person surgical team at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, had lasted about three hours.
Francis underwent the scheduled surgery for symptomatic diverticular stenosis of the colon, a condition in which sac-like pouches protrude from the muscular layer of the colon, leading it to become narrow.

Well, he survived surgery. That’s all I want to say about that.
On April 28, 2020, two ground-based radio telescopes detected an intense pulse of radio waves. It only lasted a mere millisecond but, for astonished astronomers, it was a major discovery, representing the first time a fast radio burst (FRB) had ever been detected so close to Earth.
“What this means is that the FRB came from the direction of a known magnetar within our galaxy and the radio burst happened at exactly the same time as an X-ray burst coming from the same magnetar,” Masui said. “It’s a clue as to how magnetars produce FRBs, but the community is still trying to work out what it all means.”
