Brazilian President Lula Recovering After Successful Brain Surgery. Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, 79, underwent surgery in São Paulo to treat a brain bleed linked to a fall at his home in October, CNN News reports. The procedure was successful, and Lula is currently stable and being monitored in the intensive care unit, according to a government statement. Lula sought medical attention on Monday in Brasília after experiencing a headache, where an MRI revealed an intracranial hemorrhage. He was subsequently transferred to the Sírio Libanês Hospital in São Paulo for surgery. The president’s fall in late October caused a minor brain hemorrhage and trauma to the back of his head that required stitches. Follow-up tests in November showed his condition was stable. As a precautionary measure, Lula had previously canceled plans to attend the BRICS summit in Russia, following medical advice to avoid long-haul flights. Doctors are expected to hold a press conference later to provide further updates on his recovery.
