VATICAN CITY, Oct 17 — Pope Leo XIV’s postoperative recovery is progressing steadily following surgery to remove part of his right lung, with doctors reporting continued improvement as the pontiff resumed normal daily activities independently.
In an update released on Friday, the Holy See Press Office said medical examinations confirmed the Pope’s improving condition, days after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung in an operation that revealed lung adenocarcinoma.
The Pope’s doctors, Dr Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora, said blood tests and a chest X-ray conducted on Friday morning confirmed the steady improvement in his overall condition.
