Cristina Fernández de Kirchner Remains Hospitalized as Postoperative Ileus Delays Discharge

A CT scan confirmed the complication, with care continuing on drainage, IV antibiotics and a liquid diet until bowel function returns.

Overview

  • The latest official bulletin from Sanatorio Otamendi says she is afebrile and shows no signs of secondary infection.
  • She remains on peritoneal drainage and intravenous antibiotics and has not advanced from a liquid diet to solid foods.
  • Doctors have not provided an estimated discharge date and will maintain admission until the ileus resolves.
  • She was transferred with judicial authorization for emergency surgery for appendicitis with localized peritonitis and remains under custodial arrangements, so she cannot return to her detention address while hospitalized.
  • Medical reports describe postoperative ileus as a common, usually transient complication managed with supportive measures and close monitoring.
