SAO PAULO - A surgical procedure to correct an incisional hernia in Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro's abdomen ended at 12.40pm, according to a statement from the presidential palace on Sunday . The procedure, performed in São Paulo, lasted approximately five hours and was described as successful.
Bolsonaro, 64, told the nation on Saturday night he was feeling confident hours before undergoing his fourth abdominal surgery to treat a stab wound. "I remain confident for the next surgery. May God bless us. Good night," Bolsonaro said on Twitter after participating in festivities to mark Brazil's 197th Independence Day in the capital Brasília. Sunday's surgery was necessary to correct an incisional hernia due to a weakening of certain tissues from the three previous surgeries in the president's abdomen following a stab wound on the campaign trail last year. Bolsonaro was stabbed in September 2018, during a political rally in the city of Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais state. Adelio Bispo de Oliveira, the man accused of attacking Bolsonaro, was acquitted after a judge in Minas Gerais ruled he was mentally ill. In a decision handed down last June, the court ordered his detention in a mental illness facility for an undetermined period of time.
