According to the news service MinutoUno, a medical report is expected from the administration of the Otamendi y Miruli Sanatorium, where the 72-year-old former president was taken urgently on Saturday with abdominal pain.

Doctors decided to practicar the surgery immediately after the necessary examinations using minimally invasive laparoscopy, and she will be hospitalized for one to four days, although there is no precise information on this, the digital media outlet reported.

The first medical report last night stated that the patient “was admitted to our institution today presenting abdominal pain consistent with acute appendicitis,” a condition whose diagnosis “was confirmed by the appropriate medical professionals.”

The report, signed by the medical director of the Otamendi Sanatorium, Marisa Lanfranconi, indicated that the former president was “progressing well so far without post-operative complications.”

Supporters in mass have gathered in front of the medical center to show their support and well wishes since the Peronist leader was admitted to the Otamendi Sanatorium.

This is the fourth surgery the 72-year-old former president has undergone. In 2012, she had surgery to remove a thyroid tumor.
