Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Discharged From Otamendi After Appendicitis Complications

She will continue recovery at home under medical supervision under court-ordered house arrest.

Overview

  • The Sanatorio Otamendi said Saturday she completed treatment for acute appendicitis with localized peritonitis and a postoperative ileus.
  • She underwent urgent laparoscopic surgery on December 20 after being admitted with severe abdominal pain.
  • Before discharge, physicians removed a peritoneal drain and moved her to an oral antibiotic regimen for outpatient care.
  • She returned to her San José 1111 residence to convalesce under her personal medical team, consistent with the Vialidad home-detention terms.
  • Her hospital transfer and return were authorized by the courts, and recent decisions maintained tight limits on visitors and household staff at her domicile.
