Pope Francis undergoes successful intestinal surgery.

Pope Francis underwent intestinal surgery at Gemelli hospital in Rome, which lasted three hours and was arranged within the last few days. The surgery was successful and without complications, and the pontiff is expected to stay in the hospital for several days to recover. This is not the first time the 86-year-old pontiff has undergone surgery, having had intestinal surgery two years ago for diverticular stenosis and spending three days in the hospital in March after experiencing difficulty breathing.
