SAO PAULO/BRASILIA—Brazil’s far-right and poll-leading presidential candidate Jair Bolsonaro underwent a successful emergency surgery late on Sept. 12, to repair adhesions in his intestinal walls, according to doctors treating him.
Bolsonaro was stabbed last week by an assailant as he was carried aloft by supporters in a street rally. Doctors have said that he nearly died from his wounds, and he has been in hospital since the Sept. 6 attack.
