Family Confirms Successful Emergency Appendectomy for José Alperovich

The former Tucumán governor, who is serving a 16-year sentence under home detention, remains in intensive care for post‑operative observation.

Overview

  • Alperovich was operated on Sunday at Hospital Italiano in Buenos Aires for acute appendicitis by surgeon Dr. Ricardo Mentz.
  • The family’s first medical statement says the surgery was successful, there was no peritonitis, and he is stable and lucid under close monitoring.
  • He was transferred after a sudden bout of abdominal pain at his Puerto Madero residence, and the intervention was urgent and unplanned.
  • Initial reports of his hospitalization circulated via journalists and social media, including posts by Ángel de Brito and details on TN from Guillermo Lobo, as the hospital had not yet issued a bulletin.
  • The episode came days after his private marriage to Marianela Mirra, who accompanied him at the clinic, with media also reporting that she is pregnant.
