According to a statement from Sírio-Libanês Hospital, Lula will now undergo "complementary" surgery on Thursday, just a few days after being forced to undergo emergency surgery. The reason is to "minimize the risk of future bleeding" in an area under his cranium where the previous operation was performed.
Earlier on Wednesday, the hospital in São Paulo announced that Lula da Silva is alert and recovering well after the operation.
"He is awake, engaged, and conversing," the hospital stated in an update.
After the president underwent a brain scan due to a headache on Monday evening, it was revealed that he had a bleeding under the skull bone.
The surgical procedure, which involved making one or more small perforations in the skull to drain the blood, is reported to have gone as planned without any complications.
Lula da Silva was involved in a fall accident at home on October 19 and hit his head. When he appeared shortly afterwards, he had a visible and stitched wound on the back of his head.
