The chief doctor of the surgical team at DFStar Hospital, in Brasília, Cláudio Birolini, stated that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) must complete five to seven days of recovery after hernia surgery and that he can begin physiotherapy this Friday, the 26th.

The statements took place this Thursday, 25th, after bilateral inguinal hernia surgery carried out at Hospital DF Star, in Brasília.

Birolini stated that the surgery went as planned. “The intraoperative finding was very much what we expected,” he said. Asked when Bolsonaro will start physiotherapy, the surgeon replied: “We will probably hold it until tomorrow”.

The doctor stated that Bolsonaro had a larger hernia on his right side. On the left side, it was a hernia at an early stage, but if it wasn’t resolved now, he would develop the same clinical condition. The procedure corrected the hernia on both sides.

According to Birolini, the hernia surgery lasted three hours. The doctor also stated that he is considering asking Bolsonaro to repeat an endoscopy exam during hospitalization, to evaluate esophagitis, gastritis and reflux.
