Pope Francis spent a second quiet
night at Rome's Gemelli hospital after undergoing abdominal
surgery to fix a hernia caused by a 2021 operation on Wednesday,
said the Vatican press office on Friday morning.
"More information later today," the press office added.
On Thursday evening the Vatican said Pope Francis had spent the
day "resting" and that his "hemodynamic and respiratory
parameters" were "stable".
"The post-operative course appears to be regular," said Vatican
spokesman Matteo Bruni, adding that the pope had been fed a
water diet and that he had received the Eucharist for the Feast
of Corpus Christi in the afternoon.
