Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Remains Hospitalized After Appendicitis Surgery, Recovering Without Complications

The clinic says she remains hospitalized on antibiotics with a peritoneal drain, pending completion of treatment.

Overview

  • A new official bulletin on Monday from Sanatorio Otamendi, signed by medical director Marisa Lanfranconi, reports no fever or complications and upholds continued inpatient care.
  • Saturday’s laparoscopic surgery confirmed appendicitis with localized peritonitis after she experienced abdominal pain at home.
  • She is receiving antibiotic therapy with a peritoneal drain in place as physicians monitor her progress until the prescribed course of care is completed.
  • Her transfer from her Constitution residence to the Recoleta clinic was court‑authorized because she is serving a firm Vialidad conviction under house arrest with electronic monitoring.
  • Supporters, including Quilmes mayor Mayra Mendoza, gathered outside the clinic as relatives and allies visited, according to local reports.
