Brazilian President Lula Recovering After Emergency Brain Surgery
The 79-year-old leader underwent two procedures this week to address complications from an October head injury.
- Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva underwent emergency surgery on Tuesday to drain a brain hemorrhage caused by a fall in October at the presidential residence.
- Doctors performed a craniotomy to relieve pressure and confirmed there were no signs of brain damage or long-term effects.
- A second, minimally invasive procedure was scheduled for Thursday to reduce the risk of future bleeding from the affected area.
- Lula remains in intensive care at São Paulo's Sírio-Libanês Hospital, where his condition is reported as stable, and he is walking and talking with family.
- The president is expected to return to Brasília next week, with Vice President Geraldo Alckmin temporarily handling official duties during his recovery.
