British supermodel Naomi Campbell has been hospitalized in Sao Paulo and is being treated by one of Brazil’s top specialists in infectious disease, the hospital’s press office said Tuesday.
Following the successful procedure, Naomi is now resting and is looking forward to getting back to work according to her rep.
Campbell, a frequent visitor to Brazil, celebrated Carnival earlier this month in the northeastern city of Salvador. She was hospitalized Sunday in Sao Paulo’s Sirio Libanes Hospital.
Josi Aristodemo Pinotti, the doctor who reportedly operated on Campbell, said:
“I’m not authorized to reveal what Naomi had, not even how serious the condition, but I can say she was operated on…and is completely cured.
“It was an emergency operation but everything went well. There were no incidents or any problems that worried me during the surgery.
“The whole procedure was done through laparoscopy, without the need to go through the traditional method, which would mean opening the stomach.”
Laparoscopy surgery, also referred to as pinhole surgery, is technique in which operations in the abdomen are performed through incisions under an inch – much smaller than traditional procedures. It can involve operations in the stomach or the pelvic cavity. It uses a telescopic rod lens system, usually connected to a video camera.
