Brazil’s Lula da Silva recovering after surgery to address a brain hemorrhage caused by a fall. Doctors report stable progress.
Lula da Silva, 79, had a craniotomy to address a brain hemorrhage caused by a recent fall. He remains under observation in Sao Paulo.
“The operation went without complications” on Monday night, and Lula was “doing well, under monitoring” in an intensive care unit, the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital in Sao Paulo said in a statement posted on the president’s Instagram account. He was then “transferred to the Sao Paulo unit of the Syrian-Lebanese hospital, where he underwent a craniotomy to drain the hematoma.”Lula canceled a planned trip to Russia for a BRICS summit on medical advice following his fall, instead joining the meeting online.
“I am fine, I had an accident, but it was my fault. It was serious but it did not affect any sensitive area,” Lula said in the call.“I’m taking care of myself… The doctors said I had to wait at least three or four days to find out how much damage the blow had done,” Lula said.
