71岁的美国籍教宗利奥已入住罗马盖梅利医院，接受手术治疗肺部发现的一处结节1。医生在体检中发现这一结节，其特征为边界清晰且属于早期发现1。教宗在周日向圣彼得广场民众公开宣布了这一决定，表示医疗团队认为需要通过手术干预来确定该结节是否恶性1。该手术已被评估为低风险1。
教宗利奥于去年5月成为首位美国出生的罗马天主教领袖1。为接受治疗，他已取消所有预定活动至10月20日1。梵蒂冈国务卿彼得罗·帕罗林枢机表示这一宣布"如同晴天霹雳，没有人预见到"1。教宗将住在医院十楼的私人患者区，因教宗套房目前正在翻新1。
Pope Leo, 71, has been admitted to Gemelli Hospital in Rome for surgery to remove a growth discovered during a routine medical examination 1. The pontiff, who became the first American-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church in May of last year, publicly announced the procedure during Sunday prayers in St. Peter's Square 1. Doctors determined that surgical intervention was necessary to assess whether the lung nodule, described as well-contained and detected early, is malignant 1.
The Vatican stated that the operation carries low risk and is intended to establish the nature of the growth 1. Pope Leo will remain in a private patient area on the hospital's tenth floor during his treatment 1. All scheduled activities have been cancelled through October 20 1. Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin remarked that the "announcement came like a bolt out of the blue, nobody expected it" 1.
This hospitalization follows the death of Pope Leo's predecessor, Francis, who passed away on April 21, 2025, after undergoing treatment for pneumonia at the same hospital for more than five weeks 1.
