Overview
- Bindi Irwin underwent emergency surgery on May 10, 2025, to address a ruptured appendix, during which doctors also removed 14 new endometriosis lesions and repaired a hernia.
- The surgery, performed by Dr. Seckin and Dr. Chu at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, was deemed a success, and Irwin is now on the road to recovery.

- Irwin plans to resume her advocacy for women’s health and conservation efforts and expressed her commitment to attending the next Steve Irwin Gala in Brisbane this November.
