Rome (EFE).- Pope Francis was discharged this Friday and returned to the Vatican to continue his recovery, after having undergone surgery at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome for an abdominal hernia on June 7.
The pontiff left the main door of the hospital at 8:00 am (6:00 GMT) in a wheelchair and a few dozen people were waiting for him, in addition to the media.
The Pope, who smiled at all of them, was accompanied to the car by the surgeon who operated on his abdominal hernia and also in July 2021 on the colon, Sergio Alfieri.
