SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is stable after surgery on Friday morning to remove a bladder stone, hospital Albert Einstein said in a statement.

The hospital added Bolsonaro has no pain or fever. Bolsonaro has been aware at least since August that he would undergo a surgery to remove a bladder stone.
