VATICAN CITY (Sputnik) - Since his election to the Apostolic throne in March 2013, Pope Francis rarely sought medical help and the last surgery he underwent was a cataract surgery in 2018.
Pope Francis left the Agostino Gemelli Hospital on Wednesday at approximately 11:00 local time (09:00 GMT), the RaiNews24 broadcaster reported.
On 4 July, the Holy See said that Pope Francis had undergone elective colon surgery at the Agostino Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
