Carlos Álvarez Undergoes Emergency Hernia Surgery, Now Recovering

His team reports an 80-minute procedure at Lima’s Clínica Limatambo with a favorable recovery trajectory.

Overview

  • The Peruvian comedian underwent emergency surgery Friday after a bulge above his navel was diagnosed as an encapsulated hernia, a type that can block the intestine if not treated quickly.
  • Producer Raúl Dávila said he entered surgery at 1:34 p.m. in Lima, the operation lasted about 80 minutes, and he was taken to recovery.
  • He is recuperating at Clínica Limatambo with a planned move to a hospital ward for rest and observation.
  • No discharge date has been announced, and his team describes his condition as stable with favorable progress.
  • They say he intends to resume political-themed shows once cleared, following his recent presidential bid and public complaints about irregularities in the vote count.
