Summary

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is recovering in intensive care after undergoing a successful craniotomy to treat a brain bleed caused by a fall in October.

The 79-year-old underwent surgery at São Paulo's Sirio Libanês hospital following a Monday MRI that detected an intracranial hemorrhage.

Doctors reported no complications and said Lula is "doing well" under close monitoring.

The injury had previously led him to cancel a BRICS summit trip.
