Pope Francis to undergo intestinal surgery and will be hospitalised for several days

Pope Francis went to the hospital on Wednesday for surgery on his intestine, two years after he had 33 centimetres (13 inches) of his colon removed because of an inflammation and narrowing of the large intestine.

The Vatican said Francis, 86, would be put under general anaesthesia and would be hospitalised for several days.
