InfoVaticana reports the Pope’s surgeon accurately: no clinical reason to cancel the Latin America trip

In the Vatican News interview, Professor Margaritora says that for “a long trip involving air travel in about three weeks, I would say there are no clinical reasons why it should not take place”; Vatican News gives the trip’s dates as 6–17 November. He also says the lower lobe of the right lung was removed in a routine operation without complications, that full recovery should take “another ten days or so”, and that this is, as far as he knows, the first time in modern history a pope has had surgery for a malignant tumour, all as InfoVaticana reports.
