Pope Francis is at a hospital in Rome preparing for abdominal surgery, the Vatican press office has said.
The procedure was agreed in previous days by the medical team assisting the pontiff due to “a lacerated incisional hernia which is causing recurrent, painful and worsening sub-occlusive syndromes”, the Vatican said.
The pope, 86, is expected to remain in the hospital for “several days” to allow full recovery.
This is the second time in recent months that Francis has been admitted to hospital.
