Pope Leo XIV returned to his hospital room at the Gemelli following a successful surgery to remove a lung nodule. The Holy See Press Office reported that the procedure went according to plan. During the operation, surgeons removed the lower lobe of the pope's right lung.

A histological examination confirmed that the pope has lung adenocarcinoma. The Vatican announced the surgery took place after the pope left the Vatican around 13.00 on October 13 for his scheduled hospital stay.
