Bolsonaro undergoes surgery to remove bladder stones

After undergoing a surgery to have bladder stones removed, President Jair Bolsonaro is clinically stable, with no fever or pain. The procedure was conducted this morning (25) at São Paulo’s Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein.

According to the medical report, the calculi were thoroughly extracted.

According to the medical report forwarded by the president special communication secretariat, the surgical procedure is minimally invasive, and “referred to as laser endoscopic cystolithotripsy with anesthesia.”

The report was signed by cardiologist Leandro Echenique, urologist Leonardo Lima Borges, and Miguel Cendoroglo, the hospital’s superintendent director.

Bolsonaro was diagnosed with calculi late in August, after he was submitted to an ultrasound at the medical department of the Planalto presidential palace.
