translated from Spanish: Diego Maradona was successfully operated on by his subdural hematoma

Diego Maradona arrived after 7.30 p.m. at the Olivos Clinic to have surgery on the subdural hematoma that affected him in recent days and after 21 o’clock he entered the operating room, where Dr. Leopoldo Luque, his personal physician, was in charge of doing the corresponding operation. Just over an hour later, the first reports on the health of the coach of Gimnasia de La Plata, who left it successfully and calmly, were released, waiting to meet with the relatives and close friends who accompany him at this delicate moment. The Argentine idol is accompanied by his three daughters, Dalma, Gianinna and Jana, who are the only ones who can access his father’s medical part and it was further advanced that they will seek legal tenure from his father, with the endorsement of Diego Jr. who will not be able to do so because he is not an Argentine citizen.” We did the surgery among a selected team, several renowned neurosurgens, lasted about an hour and 20 minutes and I can successfully evacuate the hematoma. Diego got through the surgery very well and it’s all very well,” Leopoldo Luque said at the exit of the Olivos Clinic.” The steps to follow are observation, it is controlled,” he said, and did not manifest when it will be the day of discharge. “Let’s see the evolution, the day-to-day, and by the time the beginning was very good. It was surgery that is not of high complexity but is still surgery. We evacuated the bruise very well,” he closed in a brief statement.
