He is expected to remain under observation at a hospital in Rome for several days as a precaution, so all events he was expected to attend have been cancelled until June 18.
The Pope, according to the doctor who was in charge of the procedure and was also responsible for surgery he underwent in 2021 to remove part of the colon, was in a mood of hypnotic and fully conscious at the end of the event.
