SAO PAULO—Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro underwent a new surgery for a bowel obstruction and doctors in Brasilia said the procedure ended late Sunday after more than 12 hours.
The conservative leader has been hospitalized since Friday due to problems related to long-term effects of being stabbed in the abdomen in September 2018. Doctors at the DF Star Hospital said new imaging exams revealed the need for surgery to remove intestinal adhesions and reconstruct the abdominal wall.
