  "account": "Pope Leo XIV, aged 71, successfully underwent surgery to remove a pulmonary nodule at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, according to the Vatican Press Office. The operation, overseen by experienced thoracic surgeon Stefano Margaritora, concluded positively within the expected timeframe, and the Pontiff returned to his room, as stated in a Vatican communication to the media. Leo XIV entered the Gemelli Polyclinic this afternoon, shortly after 1:00 PM local time (11:00 GMT), accompanied by his two secretaries and personal doctor, and walked to his room in a calm manner. The Pope announced the surgery on Sunday, following the recital of the Angelus, after detecting the early-stage nodule in one of his lungs. The procedure took place less than a month before his planned trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru from November 6 to 17.",
