Princess Kate Middleton, also known as the Princess of Wales, recently underwent a stomach operation that has been deemed successful.
As per the announcement from Kensington Palace, Princess Kate will be staying in the hospital for a period of 10 to 14 days following the surgery before returning home.
During her recovery, she will be under the care of her family.
The nature of the surgery has not been disclosed, but it has been clarified that it was not related to cancer.
In a surprising turn of events, it has been revealed that King Charles is scheduled to undergo an operation next week as well.
The extended duration of Princess Kate’s hospital stay highlights the significance of the procedure she underwent, noted the royal editor in a statement made yesterday.
Shedding light on the situation, Dr. Deborah Lee from Dr. Fox Online Pharmacy explained the reasons behind Princess Kate’s prolonged hospitalization.
Dr. Lee mentioned to the Express that typically, individuals undergoing abdominal surgery are hospitalized for a period ranging from four to seven days.
However, in cases of laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive procedure, the hospital stay is shortened to two to four days.
The duration of the hospital stay post-surgery is dependent on the specifics of the procedure.
In instances where intensive care unit (ITU) admission is necessary, the recovery period is considerably longer, sometimes extending to two months or more before the patient can resume normal activities.
In light of Princess Kate’s health situation, Prince William has made the decision to postpone his trip to Rome.
Additionally, Princess Kate will be refraining from engaging in any royal duties during her hospital stay.
Prince William, who is currently looking after their children – George, Charlotte, and Louis, will be residing with Princess Kate to provide support.
A statement from Kensington Palace shared that the Princess of Wales underwent planned abdominal surgery at a London clinic, which concluded successfully.
