narrowing of the colon
ROME â Pope Francisâ recovery from intestinal surgery continues to be âregular and satisfactory,â the Vatican said Wednesday, as it revealed that final examinations showed he had suffered a âsevereâ narrowing of his colon.
The Vaticanâs daily update indicated there was no evidence of cancer detected during an examination of the tissue removed Sunday from Francisâ colon. Doctors said that was a good sign and evidence that the suspected condition of a narrowing of the colon due to inflammation and scarring had been confirmed.
The Vatican spokesman, Matteo Bruni, said the 84-year-old pope was continuing to eat regularly following Sundayâs surgery to remove half his colon, and that intravenous therapy had been suspended.
