Overview
- The Hospital Italiano de La Plata said Saturday that Máximo Kirchner was discharged after a bilateral parotidectomy with a good immediate recovery.
- The surgery, performed Friday, treated a bilateral parotid cystadenoma, a benign growth in the salivary glands near the ears on both sides.
- The official statement, signed by hospital director Roberto D. Martínez, ordered outpatient follow-up with checks by the surgical team.
- Kirchner had disclosed the planned procedure on Instagram, saying he had postponed it and joking that a surgeon promised he could watch Racing play on Sunday.
- In that message he asked Cristina Fernández de Kirchner not to attend and used the moment to denounce judicial limits on her and the government's policies, which drew wider political attention to a routine medical update.
