Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro underwent a successful surgery on Sunday morning, his fifth since surviving a vicious stabbing attack during his 2018 presidential campaign. The procedure, which lasted four hours, was carried out by Bolsonaro’s medical team at the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo and was deemed a success.
The 66-year-old former president had been experiencing abdominal pain and discomfort, which was attributed to an intestinal obstruction. This prompted his doctors to recommend surgery in order to alleviate the issue. According to the medical team, the obstruction was caused by adhesions from previous surgeries.
Bolsonaro’s son, Eduardo, took to Twitter to announce that the former president’s surgery was a success and that he was in stable condition. He also thanked the medical team for their hard work and dedication.
This is not the first time Bolsonaro has undergone surgery since his stabbing in September 2018. In fact, this marks his fifth operation related to the attack which left him with serious injuries, including a punctured lung. The first surgery was to repair a perforated intestine, followed by three others to remove fluid buildup in his abdomen. Despite these challenges, Bolsonaro has remained resilient and determined to serve his country.
Many have praised the former president’s strength and determination in the face of adversity. His son, Eduardo, described him as a “warrior” who continues to fight for what he believes in. Bolsonaro’s unwavering dedication to his political ideologies has earned him a strong following and his supporters have rallied behind him during his recovery.
During his presidential campaign, Bolsonaro was known for his controversial statements and policies, including his stance on gun ownership and environmental policies. Despite the criticism, he was able to secure a victory in the 2018 election, promising to crack down on corruption and improve Brazil’s struggling economy.
Since taking office, Bolsonaro has faced both praise and criticism for his actions as president. He has been praised for his efforts to tackle crime and corruption, but has also faced backlash for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and his environmental policies, which have been accused of contributing to deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
However, his supporters remain steadfast in their support for him and his vision for Brazil. The success of his surgery is seen as a positive step towards his full recovery and his return to the political arena.
Bolsonaro’s medical team has assured the public that the former president is expected to make a full recovery and will be closely monitored in the coming days. They have also stated that he will need to rest and undergo physiotherapy in order to fully regain his strength.
The news of Bolsonaro’s successful surgery has brought a sense of relief and reassurance to his supporters and the Brazilian people. They continue to send their well wishes and prayers for his speedy recovery.
In a statement, Bolsonaro’s spokesperson said, “The president is strong and determined to overcome this challenge. His resilience and strength continue to inspire us all. We are confident that he will make a full recovery and continue to serve his country with dedication and determination.”
As the former president continues on his road to recovery, Brazilians remain hopeful for his return to the political arena. Bolsonaro’s determination and resilience have shown that he is a true leader, capable of overcoming any obstacle that comes his way. The success of his surgery is a testament to his strength and serves as a reminder that with perseverance, anything is possible.
