News|Jair BolsonaroBrazil’s jailed ex-President Bolsonaro undergoes ‘successful’ surgeryBolsonaro’s operation addressed a painful double hernia; doctors anticipate five to seven days of hospitalisation.

## Medical Procedure for Former Brazilian President

Medical Procedure for Former Brazilian President

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, currently serving a prison sentence, recently underwent surgery for an inguinal hernia. The procedure took place at DF Star Hospital in Brasilia. Bolsonaro was granted permission to leave prison for this medical intervention after federal police doctors confirmed its necessity.

The surgery addressed a protrusion in the groin area caused by a tear in the abdominal muscles. Dr. Claudio Birolini described the surgery as complex but standardised, with expectations of minimal complications. Post-surgery, doctors will evaluate the possibility of an additional procedure to address recurrent hiccups.

Bolsonaro has previously undergone multiple surgeries following a stabbing incident during a 2018 campaign rally. He was also recently diagnosed with skin cancer. His current hospitalization is projected to last between five and seven days.

Bolsonaro was sentenced to prison in September for orchestrating a scheme to prevent the transition of power to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He has maintained his innocence regarding these charges.

Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, Bolsonaro's eldest son, announced his candidacy for the presidency in the upcoming election. Jair Bolsonaro has endorsed this candidacy through a written letter, asserting the continuation of his political vision.
