Pope Leo lung surgery 'successful,' Vatican says

Pope Leo XIV underwent surgery on Tuesday to remove a nodule from his lung, the Vatican said. "The procedure was completed successfully, within the expected timeframe and as planned," said a brief Vatican statement, adding that more details would be shared later. The surgery at Rome's prestigious Gemelli hospital, which has been the main site of treatment for popes for decades, lasted about 7 hours. Leo's recovery is expected to ​take about a week, the statement added. The Vatican statement did not specify what tests were performed to determine if the nodule was cancerous.
