Former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil underwent a phrenic nerve block procedure on Saturday to address his persistent hiccups, as announced by his wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, on social media. This surgery comes after another hernia operation that the 70-year-old underwent without complications last Wednesday. Bolsonaro, currently serving a 27-year sentence for coup plotting, was allowed to leave prison by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, following a request from his defense lawyers. During his hospital stay, the former president expressed his endorsement of his son Flavio’s potential presidential campaign in 2026. Since surviving a stabbing during a campaign event in September 2018, Bolsonaro has faced ongoing health issues, leading to multiple surgeries in the abdominal region. The latest procedure marks another chapter in the former president’s journey towards recovery and future plans in Brazilian politics.
