Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is awake and recovering after undergoing a second brain surgery this week, with doctors confirming the procedures were a 'success.' 🏥 The 77-year-old leader underwent an emergency operation on Tuesday to address bleeding linked to a fall in October, followed by a follow-up surgery Thursday to minimize future risks.
Dr. Roberto Kalil Filho, who led the medical team, stated the president was "awake and speaking" post-surgery. The second procedure, a middle meningeal artery embolization, lasted just an hour and aimed to prevent further complications. "We managed to embolize that artery," Kalil said, calling the outcome "successful."
Lula’s health scare began after he complained of a headache Monday. Medical scans revealed no brain damage, and his team expects him to leave São Paulo’s Sirio-Libanes Hospital next week. 🩺 The incident has drawn global attention, with supporters worldwide sending well-wishes for his swift recovery.
This isn’t Lula’s first health battle—he survived throat cancer in 2011—but experts say his current prognosis is positive. Stay tuned for updates as Brazil’s leader rests up! 💪
