SAO PAULO, Brazil — Brazil's 79-year-old President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was in 'stable' condition after emergency surgery Tuesday for an intracranial hemorrhage and should leave the hospital next week, his doctors said. Lula was taken late Monday to Brazil's top medical facility, Hospital Sirio-Libanes in Sao Paulo, after experiencing headaches that medics found were related to a fall he suffered in October.
'The bleeding was between the brain and the dura mater membrane,' a thick protective layer under the skull, and was located on the left side, above the frontal lobe and the parietal lobe, said Marcos Stavale, a doctor on the medical team.Through surgery, 'the brain was decompressed and neurological functions were preserved,' he said.'He didn't have brain damage' from the emergency, added another doctor, Roberto Kalil.
