The 86-year-old Catholic leader is recovering in the hospital after a three-hour operation to remove intestinal scar tissue and repair a hernia.
Pope Francis is out of surgery and in"good overall condition" a day after his second abdominal operation in just two years, the Vatican said.
"The medical staff following the post-operative progress of the Pontiff reports that Pope Francis spent a quiet night, managing to rest for a long time," said Matt Bruni, Director of the Holy See Press Office."He is in good overall condition, and is alert and breathing on his own."Dr.
This is not the first time the pope has been hospitalized in recent months, as this is just the latest in a series of complications. Francis was hospitalized in March for four days due to acute pneumonitis — or inflammation of the lungs. He has also been suffering from strained ligaments in his right knee for months and said last month that"some days are more painful" than others.

What happens to papal power when a pope is unconscious? NothingPope Francis' three-hour surgery Wednesday raised a question about what happens to papal power when a pope is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated and cannot lead the Catholic Church. While many countries regulate the transfer of power when a head of state becomes incapacitated, and the Vatican has governance norms when a pope resigns or dies, none of those regulations apply to a sick, unconscious or hospitalized pope. In other words, Pope Francis was still pope, fully in charge of running the Vatican and the 1.3-billion strong Catholic Church, even while under general anesthesia and undergoing surgery to repair a hernia in his abdominal wall.
